I have a business DSL through FairPoint. With it, I have a block of 5 IP addresses. I've done some googling and spoken with FP tech support. Perhaps someone that's more knowledgeable than I can provide some direction. I'm currently hosting my company's website on a Win2k3 server through FP's Westell modem and a Cyberoam router. My question is, what is the preferred or recommended configuration for setting up a Win2k8 server (or more) on one of the other IP addresses? Thanks.

Do you want the public IP address attached directly to the W2k8 machine, or are happy with having it NATted to the server? – Mark Henderson♦ Feb 18 '11 at 1:01
Mark - I contacted a cyberoam guru and he pointed me to this link - kb.cyberoam.com/default.asp?SID=&Lang=1&id=1630 From this, I was able to use port forwarding to connect directly to my virtual server from the external IP address. This solved the problem for me. Not being a system guy, it appears that the terms in this KB article are generic enough to be used on most routers. Thanks. – soulia Feb 22 '11 at 20:30

Well, your first step is getting one of the IPs set on the box. This would be done via the normal way of configuring a static IP on the machine (if you aren't sure on how to do this, you may want to reconsider exposing a windows machine directly the internet).

After that, go into the TCP/IP properties, and hit 'Advanced'. You can then add as many IPs as you want using the list at the top.
