IP forward for intranet

Hi,

I have a network with the following topology:

1. An adsl modem connected through PPoE to internet (outside network);
2. A wireless router connected to the modem;
3. A centOS 5.5 server directly connected to one of the router's port;
4. A few laptops and desktops of Windows 7 OS connected to the router wirelessly.

I want to have someone connect from outside to the CentOS server. I was told to set up IP forward in the router so that it can work.

But how to set up the IP forward?

Thanks

First, you would have to have administrative access to the router. Can you log onto the router as the administrator? Do you know the IP address of the router? If so, try this:

http://ip-of-router/

this should get you to the login screen. The admin account is usually called just "admin". The password you would need to know, unless it is the default. What make and model router do you have?

what is the name of your router and what service on the CentOS do you want outside connection to. If you give these two information, we may be able to tell you exactly what to do .
