Re: USR 9108A Static Lan IPs and other questions Thank you Bruce33.
Point 1) Static Lan Address. I’m afraid you are right. But then what do you make of this instruction:
====USRManual====================
Configure the second IP address and...
Use this feature to create a public network on your local LAN, accessible from the Internet. By assigning an address to this interface and then statically setting your LAN clients to the same network, the LAN clients are accessible from the public network (e.g. FTP or HTTP servers).
==================================
What do they mean by “statically setting you LAN clients” ?
Quite disappointing, though. My 5 year old SMC Barracuda had this feature. Anyway, I tried your suggestion, but I could not find the right panel [I’m using Mac OS X Tiger] where I could enter all that information [your example: 192.168.1.100/255.255.255.0, gateway: 192.168.1.1, DNS: 192.168.1.1].
What did is the following (on the iMAC)
I opened the panel:
System Preferences -> Network -> AirPort tab
Configure IPV4 = Using DHCP with manual address [set by me]
IP address: 192.168.1.X [set by me]
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.1.1
This seems to work, but I don’t know where the information resides: on my computer or inside the router? In the first case, if I switch on my DELL printer first (which also connected directly to a router Ethernet port), the router may assign an IP meant for one of my iMacs. Conflict may occur. Theoretically, of course. I don't have that many computers.
Point 2) I followed your suggestion.
Security -> Virtual Server
Ext. Port 8080
Protocol TCP
Internal port 8080
Server IP address 192.168.1.X
If I keep the default port 80, when I press APPLY I get the following message: “Since port 80 is used, the router WEB server port will be moved to 8080”.
A this point, when I type my Internet IP, the router page pops up, (the same as if I typed 192.168.1.1). My request doesn‘t get redirected to the LAN IP 192.168.1.X indicated by my. I tried both ways (Virtual server and DMZ). Same thing. On the other hand if I type my LAN IP: 192.168.2.X, I get my homepage. Maybe some settings in the Apache httpd.conf file need to be changed/added?
Sorry for this lengthy message, but the less one knows about things, the more verbose one gets. Thank for you help.
