Need help with in-house webserver

jbayone · 06-05-2008, 09:08 PM

We've just purchased a Poweredge 2900 server for hosting our LMS and are having fiber installed. Will I need to get another IP address from the fiber optics ISP? Or can I just configure the router to direct the request to that server?

You should be able to configure port forwarding to the internal machine through the router manager interface, just give the server a static ip address, and have the router forward the relevant ports to that ip address.
Hope that helps ^_^

Thanks for the reply. I've got it setup now; I ended up getting a second IP just because we use Outlook web on port 80.
