I am in the process of acquiring a static ip address from my isp time Warner. I only want to pay for a single static, but I have a number of machines I want to put on the internet, a web server and a e-mail-server. Using a cisco router, a
Cisco Rv 120w. Can I assign the static ip address my isp gave me to the Rv 120w and then crate a vlan to assign addresses to various computers. Or is this something my ISP does. I get the impression from the tech guy at Time Warner that this is something they do.

What would be the best setup.

You need to port forward

So create a private vlan or network and the forward those addresses to the static ip on the router, I am a solaris admin so i am a little grey in the networking area

You don't need any vlans/private vlan. You have an internal RFC1918 address range. You have a public IP external. You port-forward the ports needed to the internal IP address of the server in question.

So server 1 is 192.168.1.1 and it's your web server. So you port-forward TCP port 80 and TCP port 443 to 192.168.1.1
192.168.1.2 is your email server. So you port-forward TCP port 25 to 192.168.1.2

This is all done on your router. As long as your router can reach your internal servers then you are good to go

Thank's, this is what I was thinking, but I tend to over complicate issues

I believe he's talking not about hosting content on his internal network, but having his internal network able to reach content out on the Internet.

Wouldn't NAT be what he needs, instead of Port Forwarding?

No. He says has has a single IP and that he has services that he wants to be accessible from the internet. Those servers will sit in his LAN, and port-forwarding will allow him to use a single IP with multiple services incoming

My mistake.

readung ist HARD!

(fighting off a cold here.. let's call that my excuse?)

This is going to be fine with a single static IP until the time you need to host two servers that use the same ports e.g. two web servers, or a webserver and OWA. You may need to get creative.

thats when host headers come in, at least for web sites.
