Router & LAN Setup

Hi everybody

I have a network which runs 5 pcs including a 2003 SBS and all works fine no problems at all. :) I want to add a webserver to the setup which needs to be able to access the 2003 SBS server securely- whilst keeping my LAN private The research I have done tells me to add a router and run the webserver off the current internet connection using a DMZ and connect this to my current router to ensure my current network (192.168.1.x) stays secure.

Can somebody tell me how to do this in simple steps as I can't find anything out there that makes any sense to me?

Current setup is WAN (81.5.x.x) - Router (192.168.1.1, 255.255.255.0) DHCP/NAT on (192.168.1.10 - 192.168.1.50) Each PC/server has only 1 NIC at present.

I have tried and tried using same IP address range/ different ranges but nothing seems to work. :mad: opening ports on router etc still no joy :mad:

Both routers I have will allow a DMZ setup (netgear DG834 and Vigor 2800)

Many thanks for your help
 
allow port 80 traffic inbound for the ip address of the websever.


make sure it is assigned a static address
and that the password is strong contains a mix of capitals and numbers

R1= New (as yet) not set up router for webserver
R2= Current router on LAN (192.168.1.1x, 255,255,255,0)

I thought that assisgning the webserver as a DMZ automatically diverts all inbound network traffic on specified router (R1)? I would have to open ports to allow SQL server to have access (1443)
Do I assign actual WAN IP as static or a LAN IP - as my router (R1) will allow both.

What I was actually after though is if current (R2) LAN is 192.168.1.1x (gateway 192.168.1.1) what should new router(R1) be set up as - same gateway same, LAN ip range/same subnet? or ? and do I put cat 5 from Lan port (R1) - Lan- Port (R2) OR Lan port (R1) - WAN port (R2).

any help would be very welcome. :D
 
your WAN ip is controlled by your ISP so that may be static or dynamic depending on your account.


say your web server is 192.16,1,11

go to the netgear settings > firewall rules>in bound services> service HTTP >allow always> lan server 192.168.1.11.

repeat for all services needed


your website domain name will be mapped to the public address of 80.x.x.x if your Public IP is not static it may have changed and you will need to re-map the address or you will recieve a page not found error.

but to test if the webserver is accessble type yor public ip into the internet browser address bar
 
static IP from ISP = Yes

do I use DMZ with WAN IP or LAN IP ... I have the option for either.

What IP do I give the new router? and do I use WAN port on R2 or LAN port on R2

Anybody...
 
im not to sure about the DMZ you could have

router>switch all clients and webserver connected.
then allow inbound port 80 traffic to the webserver only
