redefined mediaone question



For one, 198.x.x.x is not a legitimate private net address.
There are 3 groups of IP addresses that are aproved for use within private 
nets:
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/cisco-networking-faq/section-24.html
In any event, RFC 1918 documents the allocation of the following
addresses for use by ``private internets'':

        10.0.0.0        -   10.255.255.255
        172.16.0.0      -   172.31.255.255
        192.168.0.0     -   192.168.255.255

First, as I said, set up your web server with a static IP address. Then 
confiogure forwarding (on port 80) as I mentioned in the previous email. 
Assuming your webserver is working properly, the linksys will forward port 
80 to your web server. You cannot normally ping individual hosts behind the 
firewall.

Just a bit more on the private IP addresses. First they are allocated as 
private nets and should not be exposed on the Internet. Most routers will 
not let their packets pass through.
