How to add route to server

[wombat123]

Dear all, <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As i have a server which is configured a IP address, it is providing the service<br>&nbsp;within a LAN. Now, uers on another network want to telnet it through the router. <br>This router is on our site. How can i configure this server? It can provide services to <br>existing users and can be connected to users on remote site. Can &quot;route add&quot; be solved this <br>question? How to implement it? Please give a hand. Thanks in advance.<br><br>newbie

Wombat,<br><br>You might need to be a bit more specific to get a definitive answer, but you could try adding the router as your default gateway, like so<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;route add default 1.2.3.4<br><br>where 1.2.3.4 is the address of your router.&nbsp;&nbsp;That way any traffic that is not for the local network would be routed through it.<br><br>Annihilannic.

What about the router? Does it support Network address translation and does the interface have a public IP address that everyone on the internet can hit? Or better yet, does the server have a public IP assigned to it? I know that's not secure but people do it. If not, once you have your route table updated. You will have to create a pass through or special port on your router to route the telnet port to the private IP on your server. It should do the job after that.
