Using NAT + Hub/Switch |
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 a hub or
switch.
-
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).
-
To add more ethernet ports,
you can "Daisy Chain" more additional hubs/switches by connecting the uplink
port of the hub/switch to one of the ports on the existing hub/switch.
