Oops sorry po. Pasensya na po at estudyante at newbie palang po ako.
Um ok. We have this little LAN containing Win2k (Primary Domain Server)
and workstations. Win2k uses ICS (Internet Connection Sharing)
to connect to the internet as well as distributing the connection to it's
clients.
One of the clients is a RedHat linux box. Now that box is the one
I'm currently setting up. I have a static IP address which was given
by our DHCP server (win2k main server). Now the IP address that I was
talking about was the public Internet IP Address (not LAN) which is
dynamic. (got from ISP). Now as I've said, the problem is, how can I
setup the RH box to serve Web pages to the world if we (server & wrkstns)
all have the same internet IP address then?
For example: If I type http://our.ip.add.ress then most probably the web
page
of the Win2k server will be displayed. But what I want is an another Web
Server
box, the RH box. So how can I serve the pages from the RH box then?
Um... The admin of the win2k said that we could do this by specifying a
separate
port (aside from 80) to make this possible. He gave me port 8080. Therefore,
to
refer to my page: http://our.ip.add.ress:8080
This would really be pretty confusing to the people who'll view the page
since we
have a dynamic ip. They should keep track of the current;y used dynip. So,
any other suggestions/ideas?
P.S. we don't have our own internet domain name yet. awww poor us.
Once again, pasensya na po. =|
