first and foremost.. here are answers which arent acceptable
1) no im not switching to Linux
2) No im not buying a router or hub
3) Id prefer not to have to buy any additional software, and would like to stick to my current setup
Now, with that nastiness out of the way let's get down to business.
My home setup is very simple.
Cable modem goes to PC#1 (firewall)
PC#1 shares cable connection with pc#2 (FTPserver) via a crossover cable and an additional NIC.
Both PC's are running windows 2k as their OS. PC#2 has IIS installed and has the FTP server running. It is running correctly because when i type in the internal IP addy on PC #1 i can log into the FTP server.
How can i enable non local persons to see the FTP server behind the firewall?
Also, i would like to use a free dns service like DynDns and have signed up with them, gotten a name, and have updatd their database witha recent ip addy.
I've used dyndns before with another client, just for some reason im missing a step inbetween setting up the PC#1 with dyndns, and getting the PC#2 visible to the internet versus the intranet.
Any suggestions?
