Hello,
I have a Windows 2003 Server that uses a NAT IP. I have a requirement to write web service client programs that will run on this server and connect to a remote server on port 443. The remote firewall administrators told me that since I have a NAT IP, they can't allow my traffic into their network. So we plan to buy a static IP and install it on our server.
My question is that even if I install a static IP and have the remote administrators allow this IP in, how can I ensure that the packets from my programs use the static IP and not the NAT IP so the packets would be allowed into the remote network.
I can't remove the NAT IP as it has DNS links and would require a lot of paper-work and approvals.
Thank you.
