Great info Giles! Thanks!
Actually I attempted, unsuccessfully, to describe doing what your diagram
shows.
I am trying to avoid using the static ips on machines that don't need to be
accessed from the internet. I think what you are suggesting is the
following is possible... (Hope so!)
|--PC-1 <-- private ip & port forward
(MASQ)
modem-->Linux--> 8 port switch-->|--PC-2
^ |--PC-3
| |--etc.
|
This is Static ip
and serves as gateway
and firewall.
I will go to the link you provided and get a handle on how to do it.
Oh, by the way, I have not found a definitive answer to:
Can you host a web server from your home using a standard DSL dynamically
assigned ip address. If there is a way to do it, another link would be
nice. :)
Thanks!
