asked on

hosting behind ISPs NAT

Hi,

I work in Beijing, China, and would like to set up a server to host a web site.

Our ISP has given us a static private IP address (10.something).
As far as I can tell, the ISP doesn't filter anything, it just does NAT because there are so few IP addresses available (they cost a lot of money here - over $100 per month).

We have assigned the address they have given us to our FC2 firewall. I would like to host a web server on that same server.

How can I do that?

Max.

Furthermore DNS or even URL redirection can eliminate the need to supply the port #.
I do not understand your reasoning on what you accepted and how you split it when a possible solution was provided, yet the other answers incorretly state it is impossible.

"...if your ISP will give you a private port."

They won't give me a public IP address or port :(

..but I recognised that what you said was useful, although not in my situation.

The other 50 I gave for the reference.
Glad I could help :-)
