A.You need to enter the IP address of the WAN location from where you plan to remotely administer the router. If you do not know the IP beforehand, then you can set the remote management value to 0.0.0.0 and this will command the router to allow ANY machine access to the router (of course the user must know the password in order to log in and change any settings). To actually access the router web console, you need to type in the router’s WAN IP (shown on the Status page) and type :8080 afterwards. (i.e. - http://24.24.24.24:8080)
This does not allow you to access machines behind the router. In order to accomplish that feat, you would have to install server software on that computer (i.e. – ftp, web, or pc anywhere server)
Q.How can I get a Multi Homed server to be accessible from the LAN side of the Barricade?
Let's say you have 2 or more websites running off of one server and people from the internet side of the Barricade can get to the websites fine by typing in the Domain name. You will not be able to reach the website from the LAN side by doing the same. Even typing the IP address on the LAN side will bring up some default Microsoft page given by the program used to create the websites. The problem was the internal routing of the DNS.
This situation is also known as a (Multi Homed) setup, which is basically multiple domain names hosted by one server.
A.Create a "Hosts" file in the default windows directory and point the IP address to the domain name.
The entries look like this:
192.168.2.XXX www.computeresources.com 192.168.2.XXX www.computerIO.com 192.168.2.XXX www.computerwhatever.com
