Configuring multiple Static IP address in Speedtouch 546 v6

Hi All,
I've broadband connection, Speedtouch 546 v6 router and i'm running
various servers (Web, e-mail etc) on Windows 2003+IIS 6.0

I've 8 static IP addresses provided by ISP which I wish to use so that
I can assign websites on different static IP Addresses.

Can anyone help me in setting up router for multiple static IP
Addresses? IT may not be speedtouch specific but can be general method
to set up multiple static IP Address.

At present I use NAT with single Static IP address and all servers
have same public static IP address.

Cheers

I've been doing search on this and came to conclusion that
1) I need to get rid of NAT (Is this true)
2) Setup Static IP/Mask in router the way it is setup for Ethernet
addresses.
3) Assign these Static IP addresses to the Server
- This one seems to be tricky. Do I need to create multiple IP
Addresses on Server or Point all Static IP addresses to single IP
address on Server?
Since NAT has to be disabled then it seems that I can't use local IP
addresses and point static IPs to them?

All you need to do is turn off NAT and assign the fixed IP addresses to
the servers with netmasks of 255.255.255.255 and you don't need to specify
a gateway.

If you want to LAN the hosts for inter-host traffic to remain inside your
property then that will cost you 3 IP addresses including one for the
router/gateway. Then give the server hosts netmasks of 255.255.255.248
and give the address of the LAN side of the router as the WAN gateway.

Thanks Tony.
I'll try and see if I can figure it out.

When I turn off NAT the static IP Address goes to Router login page
from client.

So if I turn off and type the static IP address in web browser from a
client PC on Internet then the Router login page is displayed.

How to avoid this?

I'm not clear what you mean by "the static IP Address goes to".

If you connect a computer workstation to the router, do not use DHCP but
configure the workstation's network adapter interface IP address to one of
the static addresses give by your ISP.

"the static IP Address goes to" refers to typing any website's URL
which is hosted on server and which ends up in going to Router login
page. This happens always whenever I disable NAT.

Send part of answer seems to clearing out cloud. I'll give it a try
and let you know.

Thanks

Well, here's how my no-nat multi-public-IP address setup is configured:

You have 8 IP addresses.
This means the subnet mask for your LAN is 255.255.255.248.

Let's say for example they are: 81.187.191.64 thru 81.187.191.71
The lowest and highest ( .64 and.71 ) are reserved, you cannot use them.
The first useable address ( .65 ) will normally be your router.

-> Configure the router LAN side as 81.187.191.65 / 255.255.255.284.
-> Leave the router WAN side to 'obtain automatically'.
-> Turn NAT off.

Now, assign IP addresses to your PCs as you see fit, you have addresses .66
thru .70 to use.
Yes, of your 8 addresses, you only have 5 useable for machines.

-> PC1 : IP = 81.187.191.66, Mask 255.255.255.248, Def. GW = IP of router
( 81.187.191.65 in this example. )

etc, etc.

That's all there is to it.

Of these, 2 are reserver ( the lowest and highest );

Sorry. When you configure the IP address of the network interface adapter
of your workstations, do not use "Obtain IP address automatically" but set
its address to one of your assigned 8.

If 6 are enough for servers, it may be simpler to LAN those addresses and
then you can assign one of those 8 to the router and use that to configure
and view the screens of the router.

As I tried to explain, that approach costs 3 addresses in overhead for
network address, broadcast address and the router). A LAN approach is
great only so long as Nirvana only needs to use 5 of his 8 public
addresses for host servers, workstations etc.

5 is better than 1 as long as I make it work.
I don't have much in LAN I just need one Laptop to hook some times.
