4 Getting the Most Out of Your Thomson Gateway

4.4Assigning a service (HTTP, FTP,...) to a computer

Introduction

The Thomson Gateway allows you to use one internet connection for multiple computers. This means that all your computers share one public IP address, as if only one computer is connected to the outside world.

Problem

When the Thomson Gateway receives an incoming message, the Thomson Gateway has to decide to which computer he will have to send this message.

If the incoming message is a response to an outgoing message originating from one of your computers, the Thomson Gateway sends the incoming message to this computer.

Internet

If your are running a server or an application that acts as a server (for example a HTTP server, internet game), the initial message will come from the internet and the Thomson Gateway has to decide to which computer he should forward the incoming message.

?

Internet

Solution

To avoid this problem you can:
