How to set a static IP on wrt1900ac

I am trying to set some static ip addresses on my new router I go to the advanced routing section and put in the info but when i get to the gateway it says the specified gateway ip is invalid.

If the ISP modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm and http://computer.howstuffworks.com/nat.htm If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ. Also check the routers DHCP IP address maybe conflicting with the ISP modems IP address of 192.168.1.1. Check to see if this is the same on the ISP modem, and if modem can't be bridged, change the Linksys router to 192.168.0.1 or .0.254. If your trying to set Static IPs on the LAN side then Static IPs are configured on each devices thats connected. This can be done for devices lilke printers, controllers cameras and NAS. This should be done outside of the routers default DHCP IP address pool. Other devcies like PCs phones, Pads or game consoles that need router management, then it's recommended to set a Reserved IP address ON the router for these devcies. For WAN side or ISP side Static IP services:http://community.linksys.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/WRT1900AC-WPA2-on-Guest-Network-and-Setting-Domain-Name/m-p/960821#M305633

How to set a Static IP Address to a HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m?

Like it says up in the subject, I need to know how to do this. I tried to do it by typing in the IP of the printer into a browser, but then I lost connectivity with it all together. If someone could help, that would be amazing!!
Thanks in advance!
TechGirl88

First, let's see if your printer is actually connected to your network.
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address. If it is 0.0.0.0 or 169.254.x.x then the printer is not connected. You will have to re-connect it using the same method you did originally.
Now that it is connected, this is how to set a static IP:
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings. (if this does not work, you likely have a firewall and/or security system blocking it - please advise).
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 254 (the last number in the address). If you do not know this, enter the current IP address.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Leave the gateway and DNS blank. Click 'Apply'
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

How to set a static IP address for deskjet 6940dt

I have two HP laptops, both have WIN7, that keep losing the IP address for my 6940dt printer, each time power goes out to router. I have an desktop PC connected to a NetGear router and RCA modem connected to Comcast cable internet. I also have another desktop that connects wirelessly through the router....but this desktop never loses the printer IP address and I can't figure out why it doesn't and my laptops do.
I have had a fellow at the senior center computer club tell me that I need to set a Static IP address to make the laptops connect . I don't know how to do this and I would need someone to explain it in a language that I can understand, like real basic. I have searched the internet but the things I have found have been very complicated to understand.
Can anyone help me?

Ooops, sorry, I forgot that yours is a wired-only network printer.
You are on the right track - just go to where you were and follow my directions - it all works the same with wired as it does wireless.

How to set and static ip_address for a Suse Linux box

Hi.
I've done the following to set an static ip address for my Suse 9 Linux box:
- Take not of inet address value from ifconfig command. ie: (172.17.2.14)
- Change this value in /etc/hosts for my linux box.
Since Suse is configure by default to use DHCP for assigning dinamic ip_addresses i'm not sure whether will lastly be set as a static address. I've rebooted my box and it seems to be OK.
Thanks in advance ...!

/etc/hosts is not configuration file for ethernet interfaces.
Configuration files for ethernet interfaces are stored in /etc/sysconfig/network directory.
For example if you have eth0 device then configuretion for this device is stored in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 file.
Important directives:
DEVICE - interface (eth0)
IPADDR - IP address of interface
NETMASK - netmask
BOOTPROTO - "static" for static configuration, dhcp for dynamic configuration via dhcp
ONBOOT - activating interface during boot (yes/no) (yes - of course :-) )
GATEWAY - default gateway
So for example you want setup static IP (192.168.10.1 / 255.255.225.0) for eth0 interface.
Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 file and your configuration should be:
DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=192.168.10.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yesThen you simply restart the nework using:
/etc/init.d/network restartOR
/sbin/ifdown eth0
/sbinf/ifup eth0 OR
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up

How to set a static IP address on a Mac server?

I am setting up a New Mac server for a mail sever and have resieved the MX record and IP address from the ISP and DNS providers. Now I am trying to set up the server to be seen on the out side, or even on the network. Is this all done in the Network confiruration by maually setting the IP and Sub Mask there? I have set it all up to what I think they should be but not having any luck. When I installed the server software I told it to be a stand alone server was that wrong. I will not be running DNS or any other services on this system only Mail.
thanks

You should enter the IP address/netmask, etc. during the first-time-boot setup. Changing it later can be a PITA, but it sounds like you did that.
Setting 'standalone' shouldn't be an issue since that only relates to directory services.
It sounds like the problem is a more basic connectivity issue.
Have you verified that you have basic IP address connectivity? Can you ping the router address provided by your ISP? Can you ping remote sites outside your network? If that's not working you're not going to get much further.

Re: C4599, wireless Error-Printing, unable to 'communicate' with the device ???
Sure we can set a static IP (actually we are going to reserve an IP address - even better). But first, please mark the post that helped you solve the problem as "Accepted Solution".
Connect to the wireless router by typing the IP address of the wireless router in the address field of your browser, then click Enter. 192.168.1.1 is the default IP address of the wireless router. The wireless router will prompt you to enter the user name of 'admin' and the password. The default password is 'password'.
See the procedure on page 8-16 of this < http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/Networking/message-id/NetGear%20'RangeMax'%20... > document to reserve and IP address for your printer.
You will need the MAC address of your printer (this is on the Network Config Page you printed from the front panel of the printer).

Thank you for the followup.
Just got back to this thread after trying what you suggested re new install program.
Months ago, when originally tried to install new C4500, spent weekend, literally 4hrs on a Sat and 4hrs the following Sun with HP support on the phone trying to get C4500 wireless to work.
Finally downloaded a new install program and after installing that and making other numerous setup adjustments, which I cant remember, it worked (the only saving grace for the time spent) for a while.
But for the sake of trying, we did put in the original disk, just like page 4 (or our original paper manual) instructed (per your last post).
The disk loaded and the program did its thing and then get...
"A newer version fo this software is alredy installe on you HP HPPhotosmare C4500 series computer."
So clicked 'finish'.
Then loaded...
PS_AIO_04_C4500_USW_Full_Win_enu_120_210_NB.exe
...which we thougth was the new installer program which we downloaded those months ago (same one you suggested).
Started the '4 step' process.
Got to 'step 3' and it connected to printer with usb cable.
Along the way got message from 'network diagnostics'...
"The PC and the printer are connected to different networks(192.168.1.0 and 192.168.0.0). They must be connected to the same network. This can happen when you use the manufacturer's default network name (SSID) and another nearby network is using the same name.
The gateway address of the printer does not match the network to which the printer is connected. Reconfigure the setting on your printer to match."
Tried changing ip addresses at network settings, but no help.
Clicked on disregard and proceed.
Started 'Network diagnostics' and got...
HPPhotoshopEssential 'install' bar window.
Either way, disk or new install program, get pop-up window with message...
'The feature you are tryong to use is on a CD-ROM or tother removabledisk that inot available. Insert the 'HPPyotosmartEsesential' disk and click OK."
Moved HP .msi and .cab files to same directory with ...NB.exe file.
Install went ahead, and then needed 'setup.exe'.
Opened setup.exe at disk and install went ahead.
Installed latext updated 'HP Solution Center'.
It showed both the C4500usb and wireless, but still wireless not 'connected'.
Ran diagnostics and got same 'diagnostics' message as above.
Made sure hardware enabled etc.
How to fix ?

How to adjust wireless setting to static IP

I have a HP 4620 wireless. shows ready to go, but is "offline" to my laptop. I use two routers (ext) in the house. Have tried to adjust settings as shown in one of the posts IP Address 254 or less.... but won't allow the settings. Please help me to solve this problem.

Hi cleopatr
When you setup the printer make sure you set it up on the main router.
Print a configuration report.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03182247&lc=en&product=5191646&tmp...
If you have a valid ip address for the printer try and access the embedded web server.
Type the ip address into internet explorer address bar.
If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
Power cycle the computer, printer and router.
Try printing again.
I have included a document for Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. Shows you how to update the firmware on the printer, how to assign a static ip address, run the Print and Scan Doctor.

How to set static IPv6 address/gateway in Arch (NOT tunnel)

Hey Everybody,
Today I decided to install Arch Linux. There was only one thing that I did not understand, and that is how to set up a static IPv6 address. I have native IPv6 connectivity at home and in Debian I used to edit /etc/network/interfaces to set up a static IPv6 adress. Since Arch uses rc.conf, what is the syntax to configure a static IPv6 address?
I used to add something like this in Debian in /etc/network/interfaces:
> iface eth0 inet6 static
> address *my static address*
> netmask 64
> gateway *my gateway address*
Or can I still use /etc/network/interfaces in Arch?
Thank you for help.

It can be done quite easily using the netcfg infrastructure.
/usr/lib/network/connections/ipv6static
#!/bin/bash
. /usr/lib/network/network
ipv6static_up() {
load_profile $1
ip -6 a a ${ADDRESS} dev ${INTERFACE}
if ! [ -z "${GATEWAY}" ]
then
ip -6 r a 2000::/3 via ${GATEWAY} dev ${INTERFACE}
fi
ipv6static_down() {
load_profile $1
ip -6 a d ${ADDRESS} dev ${INTERFACE}
if ! [ -z "${GATEWAY}" ]
then
ip -6 r d 2000::/3 via ${GATEWAY} dev ${INTERFACE}
fi
ipv6static_$1 $2
exit $?
/etc/network.d/eth0static
CONNECTION="ipv6static"
DESCRIPTION="Static configuration for IPv6"
ADDRESS="2001:dead:beef:cafe::1/64"
INTERFACE="eth0"
GATEWAY="2001:feed:dead:beef::1" # Comment this out if no route needed
I haven't tested the gateway part, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. You'll need iproute2, and to read up on netcfg (see http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_Profiles) if you have trouble.

How to set up both static and DHCP assigned addresses on an AirPort Extreme

I recently bought an AirPort Extreme to replace my failed Cisco/Linksys router.
I am having trouble figuring out how I can configure the Extreme to support the already static IP addresses on my network as well as assign IP addresses via DHCP to a few devices where static IPs are not supported, i.e., work laptop.
Additionally, when DHCP is turned on, are my only options the 10.0, 172.16, and 192.168? What if I am running something like 10.10 or 172.30?
I am far from green when setting up computer networks, but this AirPort Extreme is making me pull my hair out.
BTW, I have access to a number of computers running a number of OSes including Windows XP, 7, and 8, as well as Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion.
The Mountain Lion or Windows 7 machine would be the preferred ones to configure the Extreme. I already have the AirPort Utility software running on them.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have found the 'DHCP Reservations' option on the AirPort Extreme to be buggy. I seem to remember it causing IP conflicts for some reason. I think what I remember is that if the computer with the reservation was off, and the DHCP server then handed out that IP to another DHCP client, then there would be a conflict when the reserved IP computer was turned back on. Maybe it was an issue in ealier versions of the AE or OS X as the case may be, and maybe it's been corrected, but I've never bothered using it agian since the method I describe below has always worked without fail. Also, I'm guessing DHCP Reservations would work fine if one manually enters IPs outside of the DHCP range but in the AE 'DHCP Reservation Setup Assistant' the IP options provided are within the DHCP range which to me makes no sense and increases the potential for IP conflicts.
Here's what I do to setup a mixed environment of static and dynamic IPs on my network. It works like a charm and does not require the DHCP server (beyond the distribution of dynamic IPs to hosts using DHCP).
For machines on my network that are accepting services from the public network, I set them up with static IPs using the 'Manually' option (System Preferences/Network/Ethernet/Configure IPv4). The settings for 'Router' IP address and 'DNS Server' IP address should both be set with your gateway/router LAN IP). Use an IP address below or above the DHCP range of adresses (in AE/Internet/DHCP/DHCP Beginning & Ending Address).
i.e. if my subnet is 10.0.1.1 and my DHCP range is 10.0.1.100 to 10.0.1.150, you could set the static IPs on your local hosts as 10.0.1.x where x = any number from 2 - 99 or from 151 - 200 as an example.
All other machines and devices that do not require static routing are setup as DHCP clients and get a dynamic IP from the AE. To me it's a simpler setup though it might take a little extra time to setup initially.

?? How to set up actiontec MI242wr rev F router to accomodate Static IP addresses, port forwarding?

I just got a new Verizon/Actiontec replacement router and I want to configure 4 or 5 static IP addresses beginning at 192.168.1.201 and above.
At this point, I have changed the DHCP range from 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.250, to 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.200, so that is now the DHCP pool. That presumably leaves anything above 192.168.1.200 open for static IP assignments.
a) So now how do I create a Static IP reservation for a device? (what router screens should I use? do the device(s) that I want a static IP have to be connected?, etc.)
b) Once I have the static IP address reserved/configured, how can I make the appropriate port forward rule(s) for the devices? Specifically, I want to allow SSH connections to each of the static IP addresses/devices.
(I tried this once but the router complained after I made the first port forwarding rule saying that it was already in use!?!? and I want to avoid this problem again).
Thanks
-J

thanks for your suggestion. I figured out what to do...I let each device receive an address by DHCP, and then in the router, I went to Advanced -> Connections, double clicked on the device to get more details and set the "Static Lease" check box.
What this does is a address reservation for the device, but still configures it via DHCP.
It would be nice if the router manual noted this small detail, that devices can be configured as having a static address 'reservation' that is administered by the DHCP service, OR, one can set a 'static IP address' by ensuring that the device address is outside of the DHCP pool.

How to set static item in PL/SQL

I know this may sound like a stupid quesiton but here's the issue.
I need a PL/SQL function that will set a application item, or page item etc. The items that need to be set are static items. Ex: P1_FIRST_NAME
I know if I use a PL/SQL function withing HTMLDB I can use the :P1_FIRST_NAME := 'Martin';... Problem is that you can not use that syntax if you store the function in Oracle itself.
So I need to know the syntax to set items.
Thanks.
M.

HTMLDB will also recognize variables using the format &VARIABLE_NAME. (with the period at the end). Have you tried this variable naming convention? Oracle may store it as it looks like a runtime variable.
I don't know if it will work for your scenario or not...

How to set Static IP to a SML2008 ports.

Hello, I have a SML2008 smart switch. I want to set a static IP to each port.. is this possible? Thank you
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad App

Hi Patric, this switch does not support any layer 3 functions. It is strictly a layer 2 device. There won't be much creativity on this box. If you have a router/dhcp server that supports it, you could make a vlan for each port then have the DHCP server dish out specific addressess for each vlan.
That's pretty much the extent of creativity you'll find with this switch.

How we set up multiple websites on OSX Server

BACKGROUND
After fiddling and futzing around for weeks (actually since last year) I've finally figured out how to set up multiple websites (virtual sites) using one port and one IP address. While there seems to be lots of discussion on this topic, it seems that the basic assumption is that one knows everything about websites, DNS and all that stuff, which I do not.
When our network was originally established the engineer set up a wiki and also configured webmail, so we had two sites, one secured for mail and the other open for Calendar and the wiki. We were not hosting any websites locally because our school website is hosted by a company in New England.
This year I wanted to set up websites for teachers and students. As great as the wiki is, there are some things it just can't do as well as a website. So I figured if I set up the sites teachers could link back and forth from one to the other. In addition kids could now start to use a real website instead of the cobbled together file mess I had when we ran a Windows network. Also iWeb is a much more accessible tool than FrontPage.
SERVER SIDE:
Snow Leopard Server - 10.6.4
There are two - actually three pieces if you want your iWeb clients to connect to the server: Server Side Web Services, DNS and, in my case, FTP.
================================================ SERVER SIDE - WEB SERVICES
If you haven't turned on Web services, you'll need to open Server Admin and do that. If you don't know how to set up web services - just reply and I'll step you through that as well.
Once web services are set up and turned on, you'll see it listed under your server’s name in the Server Admin sidebar. Click on "Web" and then click on the "Sites" tab at the top of page. This is where you list all your sites.
Click the plus button and enter the fully qualified name of your site, for example: "students.myschool.org". Don't use the defaults here (no name) - that's what got me in trouble before. BE SPECIFIC!
You'll be looking at the "General" tab (the other tabs, "Options", "Realms", etc. we'll deal with in a second).
On the "General Tab", the default IP address ("any") and port (80) is just fine. We'll run everything over port 80. (Apache figures all the virtual site stuff out - you don't need your rocket science degree for that.)
"Web Folder:" is important because this is how you'll "segment" your websites. While I would NEVER do this again, we have a solid state hard drive for the OS and a RAID array for our data files. IF you have that, make sure you do NOT use the default "Web Folder" because it will store all your files on your solid state drive. There may not be enough room, over time, on that drive. I've not experienced it yet, but it's my understanding that if the drive fills up, the server shuts down.
I store my web sites on a folder on the RAID array.
Everything else on that tab can be left as the default. (Just make sure that you have an "index.html" or "index.php" file in your web folder root, but iWeb will take care of that for you.)
I would put in your email address in the "Administrator Email:" field.
Under "Options" you really don't have to put anything. I've tested making websites with iWeb and it doesn't appear that anything needs to be checked.
Nothing needs to be entered in "Realms" as well from what I see working w/ iWeb.
The defaults in "Logging" are fine.
You can leave "Security" alone, but we do have a (self-issued) certificate listed for our webmail site.
"Aliases" is important. Under "Web Server Aliases" you enter how you want the site to respond to when users type in a URL in their web browsers.
When our web server was initially set up the engineer set up "wiki.myschool.org" on port 80 and "mail.myschool.org" on port 443. In the aliases section was nothing but a "*" (the wildcard character). That means, from what I can figure out, that the webserver will respond to these sites regardless of what is typed in the URL. (Well, something like that - point is, if you create OTHER websites, you'll NEVER get to them because the wildcard character in the "Aliases" section, in effect, grabs those web requests and redirects them to the sites that are already there.
In my case I deleted both of those wild card characters. For my "wiki.myschool.org" site, I entered "mail.myschool.org". That means if you type EITHER "wiki." or "mail.", go to the site that’s stored in the “Web Folder” we set up when those sites were created.
For "mail.myschool.org" I just DELETED the wildcard character. I wanted that site (since it was secured) only to respond to "mail." - nothing else. (You're not going to that secured site for any other reason than to get your mail.)
"Proxy" can be left blank. Have no idea what that does. As time permits I'll do some research and figure out what it's used for.
"Web Services" is if you want to provide any MORE services to this particular site. Most likely you'll want to uncheck all the boxes. For our "wiki." site, we have checked "Wikis", "Blogs", and "Calendar". For our "mail." site we have those checked PLUS "Mail".
I would create a separate "Web Folder" for each of your sites. I don't know if that's a requirement but for housekeeping purposes, I would keep the sites separated. And I SUSPECT that it's "best practice" to separate your wiki from your other websites.
SERVER SIDE - DNS
OK...now you have to make your site reachable and the only way to do that is to set up DNS so that folks don't need to type in the IP address of your web server. You need to set up DNS inside your network and, if you want folks in the outside world to reach your website, you'll need to set up an external DNS as well. I'm going to cover INTERNAL DNS - if you don't know how to set up EXTERNAL DNS - reply or email me and I'll post those instructions.
Most likely you have already created Zones for you network...all you really need to do is create "Aliases" so that when you type "students.myschool.org" your web browser will know that site resides on IP address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.
If you've set up Zones then you already have a "Machine" setting that translates your server’s name to an IP address and vice versa.
All you need to do is create an "Alias" (CNAME) record for, in this case, "students". You’ll see the choices for types of records when you click the "Add Record" button.
There are only two fields to configure for a record: "Alias Name" - in this case "students" and "Destination" - in this case "servername.myschool.org". (You've already entered a machine record that says "servername" = 192.168.1.x.)
That's it for Internal DNS.
SERVER SIDE - FTP
Now you have to get iWeb to communicate with the webserver.
There are only three ways iWeb will communicate with webservers: MobileMe, Local Folder and FTP Server.
Local Folder is really only practical if you want to host a website on a laptop (I was blown away initially when I found out that all Macs had a built-in web server - how neat is that?). I think there are some very cool things teachers could do with configuration, and, of course, you wouldn't need to set up any web services on the web server, but that's for another discussion. You need to set up FTP services on the web server.
Turn on and enable FTP on your webserver.
You can leave the defaults for "General", "Messages" and "Logging". "Advanced" is the only thing you want to set. I set "Authenticated Users See:" to "Home Folder Only". I set the "FTP Root" to the same root folder in which I plan to store my web sites (/VOLUMES/RAID Array/WebServer/Documents). This setting sets that folder only to be accessible via FTP.
I would suggest returning to your DNS settings and adding one more "Alias". Set "ftp." to point to your webserver. Why? So folks can edit their sites from home (see below).
CAVEAT: If you are running FTP on other servers, make sure that the settings here do not conflict with the settings on the other servers. For example, I'm running FTP on my file server so that my scanners can communicate with it. However, I configure my FTP settings by machine name and NOT "ftp.myschool.org".
================================================
CLIENT SIDE - CONFIGURING iWEB
Now you have to configure iWeb so that it will communicate with your server.
Click on the "Site" icon so that "Site Publishing Settings" appears.
Publishing:
"Publish to:" = "FTP Server"
You can set the "Site name:" and "Contact email:" to whatever you want. But see below!
FTP Server Settings:
"Server address"=ftp.myschool.org (you could also enter in servername.myschool.org or the IP address. However, if you want folks to be able to work on the site from home, you will need to configure external DNS for that. If you use the IP address, you're out of luck for remote access to the site. (You can do it but it's beyond the scope of this discussion.)
"Username" & "Password" should be your user's network login credentials.
"Directory/Path" - this is important. Remember, you set your "FTP Root" to be "/VOLUMES/RAID Array/WebServer/Documents". If you leave this field blank then the website will be dumped into this folder. If you are only setting up one site, that may be OK. However I wanted to set up a "students" site folder, a "faculty" site folder and a separate site for our literary magazine.
THEREFORE: I have, in my ..../Documents folder (on the server), a "students" folder, a "faculty" folder, and a "litmag" folder.
SO...in my "Directory/Path:" field, I have "/faculty". That means the full path to this website is "ftp root/faculty" or "/VOLUMES/RAID Array/WebServer/Documents/faculty" (You don't need a trailing "/" character. iWeb will automatically append the folder for you user depending on what you entered in "Site Name:" in the "Publishing" area.
Website URL:
This is the root website depending on whether it is "students" or "faculty". Since iWeb will append the site name to this root website, I accomplished what I hoped to accomplish in this post (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12288561#12288561).
Faculty sites will be @ http://faculty.myschool.org/username. Students @ http://students.myschool.org/username. PERFECT!
iWeb is such a GREAT tool - NOW the kids can start using it!
I want to reiterate that this works for our school but it should work for you as well. There may be better ways to do this but it works for us.
Hope this has been helpful and you won't have to spend weeks trying to figure this all out by yourself!

OK...here's how we did it.
To get access to the website you created from outside your network there are a couple of steps.
First, you have to have a STATIC IP address from your ISP. If you have a T1 circuit, no problem...you usually get a couple of static IPs you can use. However, if you have a cable modem circuit, most likely you have a dynamic IP address which changes when you connect to the internet. Usually a static IP will cost a bit more because the ISP has to go through a couple of steps to set it up for you. But once you have the address, you now have a way for folks outside your network to connect with you.
(I’m also assuming that you use a router of some sort through which traffic flows out to the internet and that you aren’t using connection sharing or something like that.)
The next thing you need to do is have your new static IP address associated with the server on which you are hosting your website. You've probably already done that if your website works inside your network. However, you've associated a private ip (192.168.x.x, etc.) to your web server. That doesn't mean anything to folks on the outside because private IP addresses are just that - private - folks can't access them. (I won't get into VPN because that's a whole other topic.)
The way you associate your new static IP address to your web server is through some sort of dns application from your ISP. For example, we use TierraNet to manage our external DNS information. They have a web interface control panel that is very similar to the DNS interface for XServer. You can create CNAME records (aliases - other ways that folks can access your servers).
Basically you create an "A" (CNAME) record with a fully qualified domain name (e.g. webserver.myschool.org) and point it to your public IP address (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) which you just got from your ISP. It's going to take a while (24-48 hours) for this change to take effect. BTW, you can create as many “A” records as you want. For example mail.myschool.com and wiki.myschool.com could point to the same place.
You want to make sure that the fully qualified domain name you enter in the external dns utility matches the name you used when you created your internal dns records on your XServer.
OK...so now folks can get to your domain - but, remember, you have a private network IP scheme between them and you. You now have to tell your router that when web traffic arrives, allow it inside the network and direct it to your web server.
Let's say your public IP address is 205.100.112.50 and your web server is 192.168.0.5.
You have to create, in your router’s "Security Zone" (router companies call them different things) a couple of rules. Usually the first rule is: "Let everything inside the network get out to the web." You've probably already done that if folks inside the network can reach the internet.
You then have to tell the router to allow web traffic (port 80) into your network AND redirect that traffic to 192.168.0.5.
We use AdTran routers and they have a web interface which allows you to write "rules" affecting public and private traffic. Public is folks outside the network, private is folks inside.
AdTran calls them "Security Zones" and you modify those zones with policies.
So my "Policy" would say, in the above example, redirect traffic from my public IP (205.100.112.50) -> to my web server -> (192.168.0.5).
THEN you have to modify this policy with what AdTran calls "Traffic Selectors". You've said, OK, you can get in, but WHAT can get in?
The "Traffic Selector" is written to say: "Permit" "TCP" traffic from 205.100.112.50 only through Port 80. (That's the port that web traffic goes over. If you wanted a secure website, you'd add another traffic selector that opens port 443, for example.)
I'll tell you I'm no genius when it comes to this. I called AdTran and had them configure my router for me. I told them what I wanted done, they remoted into the router and configured it. But then I could go to the web interface and see what they did and then added rules later on when I wanted, for example, to get access to the network via Apple Remote Desktop or VPN into the network on my iPad.
I'd bet that your router has a maintenance agreement that includes this service and if it doesn't it should have.
I did find that I still had issues when I tried to set this up originally and it had to do with the ORDER of the policies. I can’t remember exactly what the issue was, but, effectively one of the policies highjacked traffic before the policy that I wanted got triggered. Simply moving them around in the list fixed that issue. So if you have this set up but still can’t access the site, check the order of your rules.
I don’t know if that helps or not, but I try to think about this stuff conceptually and then get someone to help me with the details. I work with this stuff so infrequently that I forgot how I did something 6 months or a year ago. I’m in the process of creating a wiki for the school which documents all this stuff, but that’s a major undertaking.
Cheers,
John

How to set up TimeCapsule (4th) to create own private (wired) network behind Airport Express (5th) that is set up to join existing wifi-network of fritz adsl modem/router?

I work in an office building with free Wifi to connect to the Internet. I want to be able to use this internetconnection, but at the same time I want to shield of my own wired network.
I've made the following configuration:
- fritz adsl modem / router
- Airport Extreme (5th gen) set up to join existing wireless network (green light, works)
- Lan-cable from lan-port AE to wan-port TC (4th gen)
- Lan-cable from TC to Mac
- Lan-cable from TC to Printer
When I set my TC (network-settings) in bridge-mode everything works fine, but my Mac and Printer get an IP-address from the fritz modem / router and are visible to others.
I tried to set TC in NAT/DHCP-mode, but then I get the error message that I should set a static IP-adress for TC. When I set TC in DHCP-mode, it looses connection to the AE. I'm not sure what to do now. Does anyone know how to set up my TC and create my own private network and still be able to get on the internet?

Is there a better alternative? I'd rather not want to reset my TC every day.
You are using free internet.. so there is a price to pay.. that is convenience and non-ideal network setup.
The better alternative is to pay for your own connection. Then you are completely free of the possibility of others in the bullding seeing your connection. (as long as you secure the wireless).
But I think you are probably over worrying about public wifi.. if it is setup right.. ask the building admins.. it should be setup so each user cannot see another users connection. This is typical for most wifi setup and simply means you can see internet connection but nobody else on the connection. ie other wireless users.
Having a router with NAT makes it then more secure again and allows clients on your own network to interact with each other. But you can setup wireless to the free wifi for every client.. (depending on how many IP you are allowed).. and run a secondary network without internet access. This is easy for desktop etc where you have a wireless and a wired connection but less convenient for mobile devices.. unless you use a cloud connection and each client can link and share via that.
Have I made the explanation worse??
Think of it this way.. if you had 3 laptops.. all 3 could connect to the internet from the building wifi.. but they cannot talk to each other or share resources in local office. You can put resources out in the cloud, that can be shared.. but that adds traffic and most free services are not fast.
Now you can also plug all three into Time Capsule by ethernet.. and share local resources. Files, printers backup etc. This network is not connected to the internet at all. Each laptop has internet via free wifi and local connection.
For devices like iphones that have no ethernet or other method.. you could use local wireless and public wireless.. but in turns.. still the only advantage is less issues with double NAT.. if that causes problems.. then this is an alternative.
