Hi, I've got a home network that is connected through a Belkin router.

I like to have my primary machine DMZ'd so that it behaves like a machine
directly on the internet.

Now I have another device that I'd like to externally be able to access a
web interface from. The problem is, since a machine is DMZ'd, all of the
NAT feature of the router is disabled, and it doesn't seem possible to talk
to any other internal machine externally.

I see two choices:
1) Don't DMZ the primary machine. Instead I could forward all the ports
except that ones that I'm particularly interested in going elsewhere.

2) Have the DMD'd machine accept connections at a certain port (say 12345)
and have that map to my internal devices web server. Does anyone know how
to get a Win XP Pro machine to map ports like that?

Thanks

just forward the port(s) in the router, say 8081 to 8081,
to the ip address of the other device/program for external access
and set that program or device to listen on port 8081
Then use www.deviceiporname.com:8081 to access it.

your dmz machine and its router settings can keep on doing whatever they
already do.

I tried to do that, but I like to have my primary computer as DMZ so I can
access it remotely. It seems like promoting a machine to DMZ makes it so
that all virtual servers don't work (the DMZ sort of trumps them),
otherwise, i'd keep my dmz machine and make 8081 specifically go to my other
device. Is this true? does DMZ come 'first'? or did I misconfigure...
