Hi all,

I am about to get an ADSL connection. I have decided to buy the Netgear DM602 modem and set it up using the ethernet cable option.

I have a lan setup (2 machines) at home at the moment. One Linux machine and a Windows machine. I used the linux machine as the main server and connected to the internet from it.

Now, when I get the ADSL modem, it will be the one that is connected to the internet and I will have to connnect my Linux Machine and the Windows Machine to a hub which will be connect to the ADSL modem.

I would like to setup a webserver in the linux machine and I have some questions on whether it is possible and how to do it.

The ADSL modem will have 2 IP address the lan one will be 192.168.0.1 and the internet will be something like 203.193.90.94. The linux machine will have an IP address something like 192.168.0.2 and the windows machine 192.168.0.3.

I want to setup a webserver so that any one can access my webserver with my interenet IP address, As far as I know, there should be routing facility in the modem.

I want to know if this is possible and if the DM602 has routing capabilities, and any other opinions from people who have done this before.

Thanks.

I'm not sure about your particular model, but with a Nokia M1122 I just navigate in a web browser to:

http://m1122

so you might be able to do something like that for your model. Otherwise try:

http://192.168.0.1

and you should be able to connect to the router's admin interface like that.

Then you'll need to look up a section entitled either NAT or NAPT, all the settings you need to change are in there.

I've done this once before and it worked OK, however the M1122 is an all-in-one hub/router/DSL modem.

I know I have to use 192.168.0.1 in my browser and I have successfully setup my adsl connection.

I also check the settings but there is no NAT or portforwarding settings.
There is only a DMZ setting in which I can specifiy an IP address in the lan. and supposedly the router will route all unrecognised requests to that server. Using this it is possible to setup a web server or mail server. but it should all be on the same machine.

I am going to check for some firmware upgrade to see if there are any new features.
