How can I setup a Netgear FVS114 to work with a web server
Hi
WAN
I have a static ip address and a 10mb line coming into a Netgear FVS114 Firewall/Switch.
LAN
On the LAN side I have:
1. A linux server that I would like to use as a web server (Port 2)
2. A desktop windows computer (Port 1)
Goals:
1. Allow/direct all ssh + ftp + http + https requests to port 2 (ie Linux)
2. Open all ports in/out to port 1 (ie windows XP)
Is that possible and if so how?
Kind Regards,
Adrian Smith

Hi Bart
Thank you very much! It is easy but it wouldn't have been without you though.
Just a few more things before I tick the box and close this down.
1. The default rule says "block always" incoming traffic. How does a web request or an email get back to my PC. I know it does because it's works?
2. If I add another rule saying allow ftp on ip port 21 won't the rule above and the new rule conflict?
3. I am using SSH across the LAN. That is between ethernet ports 1 and 2. I will never access either machine from outside. Are LAN-to-LAN connections unrestricted or do I need to add rules?

This isnt that difficult
Firstly Make sure that both the machines have a static ip address
Then you just log in to the router, Under (well on a fwg114 anyways) Security you will see a rules
just select the service that you require for example ssh from the drop down list
choose "always allow" from the action drop down
under send to lan server enter the ip address of your linux box and click apply
repeat this for the other services.
I am sure you dont want to allow all ports to the xp machine incoming as it wouldnt be wise but if you really want to do this just drop the ip address of your xp machine in the dmz
I hope that this helps
