Using WAN IP from within a LAN?

[robphillips79]

On my internal network, all the PC's go to the Internet under one IP address (NAT enabled). However, I'm trying to configure one of the PC's to use its own WAN IP from within the LAN, but not having much luck. My firewall is the gateway, and I've tried configuring the PC with the WAN subnet, WAN IP, and WAN Gateway address, but it still isn't working.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

On the firewall/router can you forward traffic for the specific wan ip to the internal ip of the pc? You do have more than one wan IP?

On a regular home Network, the WAN of the Second Routing has to get an IP like it is an additional computer on the Network, and the computers past the second Routing have to be on a different IP band than the first Network. You can not use the external IP past the first Routing agent (NAT).

Thanks guys. I'll look into NAT and see if I can get it working.
