Static IP of router....
Hi all,
I have just recently installed a new DSL internet connection with static IP(Globally accessible). I have got an AZtech ADSL2/2+ DSL605EU router. Now my main purpose of this connection and static IP was to implement a Base Station where different hardware units will connect using TCP/UDP protocol. I have an application running on the base station that is continuously monitoring some ports for incoming connections from my hardware units.
The ISP are saying that the Static IP will be of the router and the PC will have a local IP i.e 192.168.1.2 .
What I need is that all the requests coming to my IP should be forwarded to the PC. I have thought of two options
1) Rather then PPoE connection use Bridge connection and then dial from my PC. This works and my PC gets the static IP and my hardware units connect to my base station. The biggest problem is that I have to manually dial the connection.
2) Use port forwarding. There are quite a lot of ports and I need to configure all of them.
I need a better solution. How should I configure my Router so that all the connection requests that are made on the static IP are routed to my PC or my PC gets the static IP....

How do I know if my Router supports 1 to 1 NAT? I have searched the documentation and I have not found anything.....

Yes DMZ seems to have done it... BTW are there any implications of using DMZ? Will it open the computer to hackers or what?

Thanks to all experts for their input.... I will be using DMZ for now for testing purposes...

Eventually I will be doing port forwarding of only the required ports. There are about 100 of them which I need to be forwarded to my application. My hardware units will be sending image, voice, position and other different information to the base station on different port ranges.

100 individual ports can indeed be a pain to forward, but I'm guessing that many of those ports are contiguous/consecutive - if so, most gear will allow a range of ports to be forwarded, which would be worth looking into.

The site is quite comprehensive for your model.
