 Posted: Wed Oct 05, 2005 8:10 am Post subject: Routers and web hosting, multiple computers on LAN |
 |
|
Hi, hope someone can help me and fast! I currently have a small LAN with DSL ICS setup, one box is XP and the other is 98. Now, I would like to host a web site from EACH computer with my web server (accessible from the web, not just LAN), but currently cannot seem to do so with just the hub. Would setting up a DSL router fix this problem? And if so, could someone explain how exactly this would work? I would still have 1 IP address right?
Thanks for all your help in advance!

derek,
All you have to do is to set port forwarding on the DSL router as explained in http://www.portforward.com . Each port forwarding rule you'll set will associate an external port of the DSL router (80 for example) with an internal port (of the server) on one of your LAN computers.

Just a question about multiple servers on one IP...
If I set up port triggering does this mean I can set up every server with Abyss on port 80 then when the WAN is accessed on port 80 it searches each LAN IP for the server with the host it wanted on it?
Im pretty sure this isnt right but if it does work then it will be happy days for me! It would make life so much easier...

Nothing like that at all sadly... If you picture a full scale LAN rather than a home LAN, you can see how the whole scan for a server thing wouldn't work...

Hmmm I was afraid of that. Never mind, its not essential. If I was going to do that then I would use port80 redirection or something like that.
If my ISP supported it I could buy more IP's but sadly they dont.

ok, but can I setup computer A with abyss and computer B with abyss and have a DSL router, and go to a site (from the web, not the LAN) that say, computer A hosts and then go to a site that computer B hosts?
Thanks again,
Derek |

You would have either -
* Use 2 different ports, eg 80 and 81 if you wanted to be able to go directly to site A on computer A, and site B on computer B.
* If you want both on port 80, you would have to write a proxy script to sit on one site and detect/fetch/return data for the other site on demand.
Alternatively, you could buy more IPs from your ISP, if available, then make sure you have a router that supports multiple WAN IPs.
Running both sites on one PC would be the better option.
