Q: Ok . We have here a setup . where we have two static IPs coming from our cable modem. One is for our network, and should therefore NAT. The other is for a single server on our IP telephone system .
Right now the internet connection to our Linksys router, which at this point is simply a switch . (I would like to make our router / firewall / NAT box). From there a Cat5 cable connects to the remote server, its public static IP access to the internet . Another Cat5 cable is connected to a SonicWall providing NAT to our LAN .
I hoped that a way is that the Linksys can handle all . It will be a static IP assigned and provide NAT on our network, and our server will also require a static self, the work can properly.
I Linksys to run properly on our network, but I do not know what the other static IP address to pass through it. In the Linksys configuration page, the closest Ive found setting up a static route, but im not sure thats it . and I do not know what information to enter .
Any help is much appreciated!
Best Answer: your router is working properly? if your router is working properly then you may have some problem with internet connection . have you chek the internet connection? you need to set ip automatically . if problem presist try to connect directly to your pc via lan cabel to modem.

i dont know if this would work but why dont you just put a switch between your linksys router and cable modem? One port could go to your linksys with a static IP, and the other to your IP phone system. that way you could use your linksys as your NAT, gateway, etc and not have to worry about passing the other ip on to your phone system.
Well the idea was just to simplify things..
I think we'll stay with the SonicWall and keep the Linksys just as a switch.. I managed to get a few things working more smoothly.
Thanks!

Re:A little Linksys box isn't going to handle what you want. You'll need to move up to a more advanced solution or use a Unix-ish OS for your firewall.
Personally, I use OpenBSD. One site has 5 IPs. The firewall handles all 5 and routes traffic accordingly.

I don't think you can achieve what you want done if NAT is enabled on the LinkSys router…cause then you won't be able to assign the other public IP to a host behind it.
I was figuring that.. Just hoping there was another way.
