How to configure a router with static IP address for remote?
i have allied telesyn modem connected to windows 2003 server. And i already got my static ip address from my isp, but i dont know how to configure the ADSL modem (e.g. port forwarding and ip configuration of router.) How do i configure my adsl router using my assigned static ip address? what should be my ip address,DNS,gateway in ipconfig? if i have static ip address of 125.216.169.231

1. Your internal ip addressshould be set to match the subnet of the router. This means setting it outside of the dhcp range the router allocates. Alternatively you can set the dhcp off at the router and use dhcp from the server. If you set up dns using the internal address range on the server this will automate the server dns, you can then use the server ip address as the dns server in dhcp allocations. Port forwarding should point to the internal address af the server. The router should pick up it's fixed address automatically if you restart it.2. The ADSL modem has an integrated router, meaning it's all built into one device, correct? Configure the modem/router's WAN address to your static IP. They should also have given you the following configuration details:
Static IP
Network Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
DNS Server 1
DNS Server 2
Each of the above is a dotted quad value. (Mask isn't actually an IP address, the rest are.) So all of the above are for the WAN settings, ok?
Now for the LAN settings, the easiest thing to do is enable the router's DHCP server, set your PCs to use DHCP, and everything should connect-up just like magic. The router will assign private, so-called non-routable IP addresses to your workstations, and provide the gateway, mask and DNS too. The LAN addresses are usually in the 192.168.*.* range, though it's possible they will be in the 10.*.*.* range. (Both of those blocks are set aside for private networks.)
From here there's really no way I can further advise you without knowing what you want to do, did you get a static IP because you want to make something available to the public Internet? The possible combinations are endless, I'd need more details.
