How to find out whether I am behind the Router or not.

[Kln Inc]

Hi experts,

Can you tell me how can I check whether I am behind the Router or not? Is
there anyway to run a check? I am given multiple Public Static IPs from ISP.
I am not sure I am behind the firewall or not. Please let me know.

Thanks for the help.

Regards,
KLN.

Can you check the physical network connection from your PC? Trace the wire
back and see where it goes.

Do you know what your public IP addresses are? If so, check the PC to see
if it's using one of them. If it is, then you are not behind the router; if
it is not, then you are behind the router.

Thank you! Yes. They are being used as they are. I have weired problem.
Could you help me out? I posted this problem already but none could answer
it. Maybe you can help me.

I have 2 public IPs like this. But I don't know why each of thsese system
are unable to ping or connect (RD, FTP, Web,etc) each other. Everyone else
is able to connect to these two IPs( Systems). But but not these two each
other.
I don't know why. Can you give me some insight into this? Please let me know
if you would like any further details.

Probably because the IP addresses the public PCs are being given are in
different address ranges and aren't visible to each other. This is not
unusual with most ISPs and fixed IP addresses unless they are assigned in a
very narrow range (say, as an example, 100.100.100.101 and 100.100.100.102).
The easiest fix will probably be to add each PC to the HOSTS file so that
the addresses can be resolved.

For example, if PC1 has IP address 100.100.100.101 you'd want to add:

PC1 100.100.100.101

to the HOSTS file on PC2, and if PC2 has IP address 100.100.100.102 you'd
add:

PC2 100.100.100.102

to the HOSTS file on PC1.

Just curious. Those IPs seem to be too close just one number difference. But
why they are unable connect each other? Thanks again!

It doesn't seem to work yet. As per your suggession I added IPs to "hosts"
file located under "Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\" (Windows 2003 EE) folder
in each system. But no go yet. Can you please revisit my problem and see if
there is anything that I should be doing?

As I mentioned to you, my IPs are provided by same ISP and they are same and
just a number difference. Subnet is same. Please let me know if you would
like further details.

Thanks for your help!
