Configuring multiple Static IP address in Speedtouch 546 v6
Nirvana
I've broadband connection, Speedtouch 546 v6 router and i'm running
various servers (Web, e-mail etc) on Windows 2003+IIS 6.0
I've 8 static IP addresses provided by ISP which I wish to use so that
I can assign websites on different static IP Addresses.
Can anyone help me in setting up router for multiple static IP
Addresses? IT may not be speedtouch specific but can be general method
to set up multiple static IP Address.
At present I use NAT with single Static IP address and all servers
have same public static IP address.
Cheers
Nirvana
I've been doing search on this and came to conclusion that
1) I need to get rid of NAT (Is this true)
2) Setup Static IP/Mask in router the way it is setup for Ethernet
addresses.
3) Assign these Static IP addresses to the Server
- This one seems to be tricky. Do I need to create multiple IP
Addresses on Server or Point all Static IP addresses to single IP
address on Server?
Since NAT has to be disabled then it seems that I can't use local IP
addresses and point static IPs to them?

Thanks Tony.
I'll try and see if I can figure it out.
When I turn off NAT the static IP Address goes to Router login page
from client.
So if I turn off and type the static IP address in web browser from a
client PC on Internet then the Router login page is displayed.
How to avoid this?

"the static IP Address goes to" refers to typing any website's URL
which is hosted on server and which ends up in going to Router login
page. This happens always whenever I disable NAT.
Send part of answer seems to clearing out cloud. I'll give it a try
and let you know.

Well, here's how my no-nat multi-public-IP address setup is configured:
You have 8 IP addresses.
This means the subnet mask for your LAN is 255.255.255.248.
Let's say for example they are: 81.187.191.64 thru 81.187.191.71
The lowest and highest ( .64 and.71 ) are reserved, you cannot use them.
The first useable address ( .65 ) will normally be your router.
-> Configure the router LAN side as 81.187.191.65 / 255.255.255.284.
-> Leave the router WAN side to 'obtain automatically'.
-> Turn NAT off.
Now, assign IP addresses to your PCs as you see fit, you have addresses .66
thru .70 to use.
Yes, of your 8 addresses, you only have 5 useable for machines.
-> PC1 : IP = 81.187.191.66, Mask 255.255.255.248, Def. GW = IP of router
( 81.187.191.65 in this example. )
etc, etc.
That's all there is to it.

Of these, 2 are reserver ( the lowest and highest );

5 is better than 1 as long as I make it work.
I don't have much in LAN I just need one Laptop to hook some times.

On a Draytek 2600 this is known as Multi-NAT
http://www.draytek.co.uk/support/kb_vigor_multinat.html
Check your Speedtouch manual for something similar.

I've been working out on the same but can't figure out my static IP
ranges.
ISP has assigned me xx.xxx.xxx.240/29
What would be my starting static IP Address? 240 or 241.
The static IP Address I'm using now is 241.
Nirvana
Here is what I did:
1) It seems that the starting IP Address is x.x.x.241, so I assigned
242 to LAN
xx.xxx.xxx.242 Mask 255.255.255.248
DHCP Off
NAT disabled
2) Configured the Server with additional static IP Address to use
xx.xxx.xxx.243 Mask 255.255.255.248
I also have the old IP addresses configured on my Server (10.0.0.1/2
Mask: 255.255.255.0)
3) To test I pointed one of my website to use xx.xxx.xxx.243 and
waiting for domain to be resolved.
So at this point of time I'm still on old configuration and also using
new configuration in no-nat-multi-static-ip configuration. I can tell
result only after 12-24 hrs
Am I doing any thing wrong?
I know I'm making it complex, but I just can't throw out old
configuration and switch to new one.

I think I'm getting closer to it now ;)
All I need is to run webmail server on a different IP Address, than
what i'm using with IIS, and use port 80. I've configured Win2k3 box
to have multiple IP address 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2
I'll bind all IIS websites to use 10.0.0.1:80 and webmail server to
use 10.0.0.2:80
I might need to disable socket pooling http://support.microsoft.com/kb/238131
All seems to work in theory, i'll give it a try in evening and update
here...
cheers

Here are my settings now
Speedtouch: LAN interface
IP Address: x.x.x.242
Netmask: 255.255.255.248
Server:
IP Address: x.x.x.243
Netmask: 255.255.255.248
Gateway: x.x.x.242
DHCP Off
Nat disabled
There is only one IP configured in Server i.e. x.x.x.243
I've changed A record of www.mydomain.com to use x.x.x.243
I can access www.mydomain.com from my Server (LAN)
I can't access www.mydomain.com from a client PC on Internet
What does it mean? Have I got LAN side setup correct but something is
missing in Router side?]

I'm with Entanet via UKFSN
"What is the WAN IP address of the router?"
That is a very good question :)
How to find out what is the WAN IP address of my router?
"Just as a test, try configuring your server without the LAN
configuration:
Server:
IP Address: x.x.x.243
Netmask: 255.255.255.255
Gateway: x.x.x.243"
I would give it a try in evening and i'll update.

"Okay. Maybe Jason Clifford will suggest how to install and use the /

Jason and support? You must be kidding
He even doesn't listen to other important issues let alone fixing a
router with such complex issue for which I pay nothing to him...
