Hey people, I'm new to this forum but I've been pulling my hair out over a problem.
I have a cisco 675 dsl router using qwest as my ISP. It's set up as a DHCP server and we have a single "static" ip. Since there are about 6 users using this single IP with varied wants for NATting, I find I usually have to add quite a few nat entries as well as remove the old ones every time our "static" ip changes (about every 3 months) Granted, this isn't static at all, but is close enough that I just put the quotes around it. I have users who want : the IRC port, the http port, various game ports, etc.
The problem is, I don't want to retype in these entries every time our IP changes. Is there any way to load a config file into the router that will change all of the entries simultaneously (removing old entries and entering new ones) or is there a program that will allow me to change this stuff easily rather than telnetting to the router and manually entering in each IP and port? It seems like I would not be the only one in this situation and that a program would exist. If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it alot. Thanks!
