Single Computer Using NAT + Crossover Cable |
Updated: May 29, 2001
Notes:
-
The server computer is acting
as a router in this setup. It has two network cards, one is connected
to the DSL/Cable line, the other network card is connected to Workstation
1 by means of a crossover cable.
-
The server computer is running
NAT software like ICS, Wingate, or Sygate.
-
The server actually has two
IP numbers. From the Internet or the WAN,
the server is known as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
However, from the inside, the server can be accessed as the WAN
and the LAN (192.168.1.1).
-
You cannot access the LAN
IP number from the Internet (WAN).
-
This configuration does not
require a hub or switch.
