Hi all; I have been assigned 2 public/static ips from my isp. One I have put on my little linksys 4 port cable/dsl router (model befsr41), so the router has the ip, the subnet mask, gateway, and dns info that my internal network all look at. I have a small server (non-windows) that I have put the other ip and all associated info onto. But I cannot see this small server and its dedicated ip….cant ping it, cant see it with the client software.
The cablemodem is plugged into the router, the router into a linksys 8 port switch as well as this server I am trying to connect to. The rest of the internal lan is on a hub which is connected to the switch.
What am I missing that I cannot see the second ip from the outside world–I think it may be something simple. A linksys support person told be I had to get a different router to support NAT tranvergence or something like that???
