Routing external IP address issue

[jgarry6381]

I have a feeling there is a fairly simple answer to my problem. I have a Server 2003 machine with Routing and Remote Access enabled. The machine has two network cards, one set to an internal IP(192.168.1.1) and one with an external IP(66.123.456.789).

I have a number of ports open on the external NIC that are routed to internal IP addresses. For example, I may have port 9090 routed to IP 192.168.1.5.

If I am on the internal network and I try to go to 66.123.456.789:9090 it will not work. However, if I am outside the internal network, say working from home, and I hit 66.123.456.789:9090 it will work.

So basically I need a way for internal users to be able to hit our external firewall IP address with a port number and have it route properly. Right now we are getting by using the internal IP address and port (192.168.1.5:9090) but I really need internal users to be able to use 66.123.456.789:9090.


Any advice or direction would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You will probably need to set up a proxy server to get
off the local network.
Try doing a web search for public proxy servers and
set LAN settings in internet explorer options to
one of the addresses to see if this will work for you.
You may need to try more than 1 as some are slow.
Should work.
If it works,you should be able to configure a proxy on your server.
