Accessing Static IP number from behind a netgear router
I have a netgear router as my internet access points for 15 workstations. it is set it up with a static ip number of 64.xx.xx.2 for the internet and set it as a DHCP server. I also have a windows 2003 server that i want to use as web server for presenting basic information to our clients. it has a static ip number of 64.xx.xx.5. the server has 2 nic cards the other ip address is 192.168.1.160. I am unable to access 64.xx.xx.5 from the internet. and i am also unable to ping it. what do i need to do to make this work??
Where is plugged the server external NIC 64.x.x.5? In a switch, where Internet connection form ISP is entering, or in the netgear? Which netgear model do you have?

netgear c3700 the isp router is plugged into the netgear router, then the netgear router is plugged into my 24 port network switch and my nic 64.x.x.5 is plugged into the switch
