IP add and proxy

[paulmcruz]

I have 15 workstations running Windows 95 and each has an internal IP addresses (192.168.0.1 ...15). A proxy server is between these workstations and my ISP. I have 12 assigned and legal IPs in my IP block but as you see I am not using them - yet.<br>
<br>
Is there a way to send my real IP add as it comes out of the proxy server?

Are these workstations on an NT network running DHCP? Have you assigned a static IP address to your proxy server? <br>
<br>
??

Oops, sorry I forgot. These IP addresses are static and the proxy server (on NT 4.0) has a static address too.<br>
<br>
Let me put it this way. PDC IP address = 192.168.0.1; workstations 1-15 = 192.168.0.201 ... 215; subnet = 255.255.255.0. No routers just 2 10/100 3com 16-port hubs. I hope these would give you a better view of the network scheme.<br>
<br>
Thanks again in advance.

If the proxy server is the computer directly connected to the ISP, it would use its IP address.

You only need to use one IP address... the real issue for your network in bandwidth- that is the measure of the service you are getting. your service is divided into two elements-- how many IP addresses you have and how much bandwidth in/out. I am running a network with 25 users utilizing one IP address= the external proxy address. the other IP addresses are just sitting there. Once you buy your service it's YOUR business what you do with it... in other words it is perfectly fine to proxy out one IP addresses to as many stations as you want--- all they are concerned about is how much bandwidth you use and that is already in the contract.<br>

Is there a possibility that my Proxy Server can dish out any of my real IP addr?

The proxy server will show when connecting to a machine will show all addresses as its own, one of the purposes of the proxy, hide real ip addresses. <p>John D. Saucier<br><a href=mailto:jsauce@net1plus.com>jsauce@net1plus.com</a><br><a href=

If you're asking if the internal 192.168.0.x address can be passed out to the web as such- No. <br>
<br>
If you want to assign a specific Legal IP to a specific Internal IP, that is possible. As far as this bandwidth question- It makes no difference how big your seed block is. <br>
<br>
I don't know if you are all set up- But I would three of those addresses for your .com, MX(Mail) and ftp sites; use one for NAT (Your proxy servers masking address) and burn the rest on personal web servers for you and your pals.
