Good Morning everybody; this forum seems to be having a lot of information on networking in India. Great place for knowledge sharing and thank you members for making this forum such a wonderful & useful place.
We have an FTTH connection from BSNL and they have placed an Alphion AONT-100C modem. Since this modem doesn't have wifi feature, we have added a TP-Link router and connected many computers through wifi. Everything was fine until now when we want to use one of the computer in the network as a web server which has to be made accessible from public. Looked out for many tutorials online and tried our best with no success. So, please help with our situation.
EXISTING SETUP:
Modem: Alphion AONT-100C
LAN IP: 192.168.1.251
WAN IP: Dynamic
Connection Type: PPPoE
DHCP: Enabled
Router: TP-Link
LAN IP: 192.168.0.1
WAN IP: 192.168.1.127 (Dynamic)
Connection type: Wireless router
Connection in: LAN cable through WAN port from AONT modem
Connection out: Wifi and LAN ports
Web server machine: HP Workstation
LAN IP: 192.168.0.105
Listening to port: 80
Allow access: all
We tried two methods:
METHOD-1
Enabled DMZ (firewall settings) in BSNL modem with host 192.168.0.1 (TP-Link router) and port forwarded to 192.168.0.105 in the TP-Link router. Incoming public traffic is routed to BSNL modem admin page.
METHOD-2
Made the TP-Link router as an Access Point with IP 192.168.1.1 and assigned web server machine with IP 192.168.1.105, both having gateway as 192.168.1.251 which is the BSNL modem. Enabled port forwarding in BSNL modem to point to 192.168.1.105 (80 port). Incoming traffic is still routed to BSNL modem admin page.
We also tried with some different ports instead of 80, which didn't work either. Please help.
