Back when I had a cable modem, I was able to run a webserver behind my router by setting various port forwarding options -- you know, the usual stuff. Well, now I have a satellite broadband connection, and the modem itself has a LAN IP of 198.162.0.1. I can connect the modem to my router's "Internet" port, and then connect my PC to one of the 4 PC ports, and viola! I have internet access.
However, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get to my webserver from outside of my LAN now. I can get to the stupid modem's "setup" page, but can't get any further into my network (because the modem won't port-forward? :confused: ). Is there anyway to connect all this stuff to where the modem and router know to forward port 80 requests to my webserver? Here's a summary of how it's setup now.
[Modem: WAN {dynamic}/LAN 192.168.0.1] ---> [Router: WAN 192.168.0.2/LAN 192.168.1.1] ---> [PC: LAN 192.168.1.100]
Note that the modem says it supports NAT and DHCP. I will (...would like to...) have multiple PCs connected via the router.
Help!
