Networking issue

[foorsa]

Oh people of expert i have proplem related to networking i wanna setup a computer as a web server and giving that server a real ip address
The details here as follows the location of that computer is a lab full of computers attached to local lan each lab is attached to a smart switch ( not cisco ) each switch of each lab is attached to a switch attached directly to a gateway to wide area network ( internet )
here's my problem
I wanna give the computer a real IP address in same lab without moving the computer please note the lab is local area network
what feature or technique allow me to do such a thing because i'm struggling with people of networking they said it's not possible an i must move my computer
does switching introduce a feature to implement such thing
Please note : internet connection is leased line
i already have the real static ip addresses
Thanks in advance

The easiest way would be to log into the gateway (router) and forward port 80 to your internal IP address (if the port isn't being used already). The set up your desktop system with dynamic DNS (dyndns.com for example) and you should be good to go. Obviously you'd want IIS running on your desktop and port 80 open on your firewall, which I imagine you know that already. :)

I don't know what you mean by "real IP address"? Do you mean you want the server on a "public IP address"? Is the ISP supplying you with a block of public IP addresses?

Do you have more than 1x server?
