Computer on home LAN to be accessible from internet.

[Locutus of Board]

I have an NT server running sygate with 2 nic cards.
I get an IP via DHCP from my ISP (broadband) it doesn't appear my IP ever changes tho. Has been the same for 6 months.
I have the second nic with a static IP 10.1.1.1.
The other machines that are on the Lan, and can access the internet have 10.1.1.2 etc

I want to put IIS on one of the internal boxes and have it accessible from the internet.

Possible? Some sort of tunneling/forwarding?

The firewall has no gump to run anything, or else I'd just run it from there. All I have it for is NAT to protect my home boxes.

Hmmm...

Not really sure what all you can do with sygate, but here's two suggestions

1) PC Anywhere. Just setup PCAnywere on the machine at home, set up callers for it for security reasons, and then launch a host waiting for a network request

Then Load PCanywhere on the machine that you want to access your home pc from. Plug in your IP address into the networking properties and setup your callers. As far as the firewall goes, some of them allow you to send a request to a specific IP, in this case 10.1.12.XXX

Just tell it to route the incoming "call" to the IP address thats running PCanywere. You might also have to open up the PCAnywhere port. Can't remember the number. 926 I think. You can find it in the help files of PCAnywhere.

2) Set up a VPN to access network resources - IE network drives and printers.
Just do a search on "VPN" in this forum and there are several links on how to do this.
