Internet Video and Interactive from a Sh
I need to understand how to make interactive
connections from behind a shared Internet
connection on a router/modem, which
supports NAT/DMZ/DHCP technologies and
all sorts of clever stuff they give no infomation
on in the docs.. Can it be done and how?
I have a D-Link DSL 504 Modem/Router I'm
using to connect a Mac on OS 9.1and a PC on
Me to DSL. It has a comprehensive set of
management tools most of which look like
level 2 support items and are meaningless to
me.
Is there a white paper or monograph about
how these connections work? How does an
incoming data stream from the Internet know
which LAN device to go to if there is only one
Internet IP address?
I do know what NAT and DHCP do in principal,
the network addresses are 196.168.0.xx, etc.,
the router gets an assigned Internet address
from BT each connection but I can't get what
the machine looks like to Internet with winipcfg
or the other routines, I just get the LAN IP
address.
As you will see I am not an IP expert, I know
the principles but not the detail or acronyms
required to do router configs. I am hoping its
been designed so an end user with no
technical skills can set it up, but am down in
the bytes for the basics already ... any help I
can use?
I can read and follow instruction. I researched
the LAN and DSL requirements and set it all
up myself, now find I can't video conference or
play interactive games which was half the
reason..... this is a great industry! Thanks for
any help.
