I set up a new router on a T1. Got the serial int working, and plugged in a workstation to test the internet. It works fine. I was giving a pool of IP addresses, so i used 1 for the ethernet interface, and the other 1 I used on the server (which i want to be the web server) and then i pointed the Servers gateway to the interface of the router.

Now some users on the internet can see my IP and some cannot. Is there something else i need to do, I am thinking maybe i need to set up routes, or i need to somehow publish this webserver on the router. I would think NAT, but all the ip address I am using, are the ones i want to use. Thanks :)
 
What's the IP address? I can't think of any reason why some users on the internet can see the address and yet some can not.

I think you must check that with your ISP , which gives you the range of address you are using . It will be some problem with BGP advertising and peering coming from your ISP. The thing that you can do is to make several traceroute to your web server IP Address from several lookup sites (try and check from where can come your problem (i.e which ISP is not propagating well your Address range ).
I hope this helps .

OK this is what happened, i had 2 T1 lines, and they were being balanced at the ISP. I did a jumper on my 4 port either net card, and made a P2P route with a Crossover. Some of the people were being directed to the 2nd router. All is well now. This webserver was just something I needed to set up temporaraly. I am not working on setting up both T1 lines to be fully redundant. Thanks for the help :)
