Hi all,
I want to access my server using Remote web workplace. Now my ISP assigns dynamic IP, which changes always . Somebody advice me to get a static IP
Now the server has two lan cards . one is connect to the ADSL modem router and another to the server machine . so if i buy a stastic ip , do i have to give that IP to the ADSL modem or do i have to give it to the local server machine . which is the secure way of doing .
if the static ip is given to the ADsl modem router , when i access the machine from internet it will connect only to my broad band router , so how can i access my machine from there
My knowledge in networking is intermediate , so please can anybody help me here or can you just give me some idea regarding setting lan cards and IP address in SBS server
Thanks George

Hi George,
You can always assign a computer (or in this case your server) a static IP address without any cost. However, in order to get your IP address to use RWW you need to get it from your ISP for your internet connection - i.e. you will have a static IP on your ADSL modem. From there, you will have to port forward from your router to your SBS box, (ports 4125 and 443 for RWW) and assign your SBS box a static IP off your modem. From there you should configure IIS for SSL etc etc and you should get it up and running. Plus - remember to get a domain or subdomain to forward to your IP address or it wont work!
Good luck mate

Your IP address may be different each time your modem acquires an IP address but if you leave your modem on and connected then this should be quite infrequent. The IP address assigned to me at home changes only about once a year, but that's because I leave my equipment on. That said, I wouldn't rely on it not changing, so I would suggest either:
1. getting a static ip from your ISP. They'll either charge you for this or depending on the ISP might not even be able to give you one.
2. use a service like no-ip.org. You run a small application on your box and it registers with their servers each time your ip address changes. For any service you need (like RWW) you simply use the dns name that no-ip give you. Works a treat. Its also free if volumes of requests are low. There are other dynamic-dns providers, but I've never had any problems with no-ip.
Hope this helps. -- Brian Cryer www.cryer.co.uk/brian

I had the same circumstances so I had my ISP assign a static IP, $10/ month. I found it easier to use a bridged modem and do all the routing from the server itself. Have had no problems so far.

Which is authenticating with your provider? If you put your username and password into the modem, then that's what will have the IP. If your server logs in and the modem is in bridge mode, then the server's NIC uses the static address.

You can use VPN which will require some configuration in your router.

If you can't get a Static IP.
Most routers support DYNDS.COM So you can get yourname.dyndns.org and have your router auto update it.
Go to http://www.dyndns.com sign up for a subdomain, set up your router with the login/password to auto update it. and use yourname.dyndns.org for your Web Cert etc.
