T-1 help

Hello, I am trying to re arrange my setup and put a router in front of my server that is attached to T-1 but when I put a router in front, I can get internet without a problem, can go to any site but no one can see me. Had my brother pinging my IP address and it failed everytime.

Is there some setting in the router that I am missing to make this work properly? I put in my static IP information and everything seemed to work fine except no one could get in...Poses a problem with the website and when people try to VPN...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
what do you mean by t-1?
did you forward the ports on your router to the server necessary for vpn and the website?
ohw and alot of routers block ping requests.
 
Sounds to me like you are running NAT, which blocks remote hosts from connecting to your network. You will have to set up additional routing in your router or use a different approach like a proxy or gateway.
 
Ok I am sorry I did not give enough details.

AT&T is our provider for T1 and it comes into a Cisco 1841 router then goes from there to our network. We have a server with Windows Server 2003 operating system and we are hosting our own web site and we have exchange set up on it. Everything runs fine but when I put a router, Linksys gigabit security router (WRVS4400N), in front of the server it will not let anyone on the outside see my server. Like I said, I had internet but the fact that no one could see me just completely confused me. Even when I enabled remote management on the router no one could get in.

If anyone has any thing that can help it would be greatly appreciated!!!
 
Are you running NAT? NAT will separate all traffic from two subnets. Also, VLANs are non routeable by default unless you run layer 3 switches.

I am not a Cisco guy but I know the basics.
 
It really does sound like you're running nat, I bet if you forward ports 80 and 443 to your server your website will start working again. Exchange uses several different ports depending on what protocol users are using to connect to it (POP3, IMAP, ect...)
