Re: Static IP Block Setup with Netopia 3347-02 - Help!

no, it is actually using the ip addresss from the block of static addresses. once it runs out of addresses from that block, it doesnt assign anymore.

I think I understand and I agree

The netopia can be configured so that its lan dhcp server uses private ip addresses(192.168.1.0) and the public ip traffic can be pointed to a certain lan device

I contacted AT&T last week and they were able to keep the private ip addresses for our LAN and point the Public Static IP address to a specific device within the LAN as WAYJAC mentioned, using the IP Mapping feature in the Modem/Router.

However, for somea reason when I type the public Static IP address anywhere, I get a "Page Not Found" or "Broken Link" message. The Antivirus Software is disabled in the device linked to the IP address so I dont understand why it is not connection.

The only thing that I see may be affecting this is the use of a switch. The DSL line is conencted to the Modem/Router, and the switch to the Modem/Router so it diestributes the ethernet connections throught the office.

It is frustrating working with AT&T because when they get to a point that they cannot figure out the problem, they simply disconect you or transfer your call to the tech support line without notifying the caller or the other tech, so you have to explain everything to the new tech receiving the transfer call. I dont know how they get away with this.

At any rate, does anyoene have any suggestions as to what else needs to be done in the router? Perhaps a special setting to tell the router there is a switch involved in the network? Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks!

Not sure what you are trying to do that does not work, but.....

If you have a service running on a private IP address that is port forwarded from a public IP address, then it will not be reachable from the private network using the public IP address or a hostname that resolves to that public IP address.

If you are checking the setup/access of a server its best to use another internet connection like dialup access to troubleshoot

You also need to do port fowarding in addition to mapping a public ip address to a private lan ip address

What type of service are you setting up

I am not expert in networking. Our parent company in Europe has asked us to setup two static ip addresses. One so they can setup VPN Access for us here in the USA (I guess they dont want to create a single user id for each employee) and one so we can create a VPN connection for traveling employees to access "the server" (a shared computer)

VPN access means you'll need to setup vpn clients/servers

You should let the parent company know that you need help with this
