Hi,

I appologise if the answers to this setup have already been posted. I have an adsl router, 1 xp (home) pc and a 8 port switch. Currently everything is connected and is working fine. I would like my pc to have the same ip address as the adsl router so that i can access the pc from the internet (using no-ip.com or simmiliar). How can this be done? My pc`s address is 192.168.10.100, my adsl router`s ip is 192.168.10.200 (default).

Can this be done using nat on the router? if so how? Can this be done using pppoe on xp? if so how?

I have tried setting up a new network connection on xp, pppoe connection, using my adsl user/pass but it just says: opening wan miniport and then connection fails.

Will www.raspppoe.co.za do the job for me? As i understand it, the default xp pppoe should work without downloading any other drivers etc.
[:(]

Any ideas?
 
You have to configure your router so that it forwards requests for certain ports from outside (internet) to your computer inside. From outside, it will look like you are accessing the router, but you are in fact being forwarded to your pc by the router.

Basic question : Is the router actually loggin you onto teklom, or is the windows xp home machine doing it ? i.e. Do you use a dial-up connection setup on the XP machine to tell the router to connect, or is the router configured to logon by itself ?
 
Stoke,

At the moment the router is loging on automatically and my pc`s def gateway is just set up to the router. I could not get the dial-up connection (pppoe connection) to the router to work, so now i am trying to figure out how to make the router forward requests to my machine.

Maybe if i changed the router to not connect automatically, the pppoe dialup connection will work...?

I am a bit confused as to how the dialup knows where (which ip) on the network the router is?

DISCALIMER - Exposing your internal network/pc is not safe. Billions of internet users - somebody/something will hack you.

Maky - let the router do it for you - it's the ideal place anyways.

Getting MS*Ver*XX (Any windows product) routing to work is a nightmare. I require your router model and make to help you further - i'll then search the internet looking for a sample on how to configure your router to route inbound traffic. If it cannot do that, then you're buggered. But - one step at a time.
 
errgh.... I think this is the one (default white adsl pots router that telscum provides)

As for the safety.. I am putting up a linux firewall next week or so...
 
Mkay -

Read: http://www.myadsl.co.za/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=202
ezanolin says that router is a piece of sheet - i'm agreeing with him in principal.

So -
You said that you wanted to use a unix firewall to protect your network. That changes everything. I was hoping that the router of yours had a built in firewall - but it definately does not - so then we'll have to use the router as a rasppoe compliant modem.

I'm using Win2000 Small Business Server for our network - expensive though. I used to use Win XP Home Connection Sharing - it worked - but was not great (Kept getting confused with itself) - switched to Win XP Pro - better (After a while would forget that it was sharing the connection[2 weeks or so]) - switched to Win2000 Server as a domain controller - muuuuch better.

Decide:
- Which single computer is going to control the router
- That same single computer is going to have to control the network access - so - what Operating System is that computer going to use ?

If you're going unix/linux/ ... then I can't help you.
If you're going win xp - then you have to get a dial-up connection to the router working using either windows's rasppoe driver, or, download and install and configure and get working the one from http://www.raspppoe.com - I am using the one from www.raspppoe.com.

Lemme know.
 
Thnx for the help. I think best for now is to install the raspppoe driver and let the xp pc get the dynamic ip address of the adsl connection. If i get my linux machine up, i will let the linux machine do pppoe to the router and configure it to forward requests to my xp machine (much safer).

Thanks for the quick replies.

* Note to self: Enable XP firewalling before doing this
 
I use MNF (Multi-Network-Firewall) at home and it works great. Installed it on an old box. You configure it for your ADSL, Dynamic DNS, Firewall, Intrusion Detection, Proxy, Caching DNS, etc. This is all from a friendly web interface and you barely need any Linux experience.

It also has the correct PPPoE client already setup from the CD.
 
The telkom modem can be used as a router gateway OR as a PPPOE modem these are 2 entirely different configs. You need to decide what you need.

I would only bother going the linux route (pun) if you have many users, then the major feature you would setup is the caching proxy (transparent or socks) which can greatly improve you cap utilisation & speed.

The PPPOE dialer in XP works perfectly

Read this article about 192.168.10.100 IP. This will help you out assigning same ip address as the adsl router so that i can access the pc from the internet
