Hi, if I my ISP gave me only 1 global static ip address 203.145.145.145
255.255.255.252 . And I assign this IP address to the router interface into
ISP (I've got a router with builtin 4 port switch with DHCP function). How
is it possible for me to run a web server and terminal server with only 1 Ip
address assign to the router interface??? How can this be achieve?? Thanks.
 
Your router should have a forwarding facility which will allow requests to
ports on the router to be forwarded to an address on the internal LAN.

You need a router that supports NAT.
This will allow all incoming Web traffic to the public IP address to be
translated and sent to your web server , and the same for your terminal
services server.

Check teh router instructions for how to configure this.
 
You must configure the router to forward port 80-tcp from 203.145.145.145 to
the private IP address of the web server. You can run any number of services
with one IP because each service uses a different port. Catch is, you can
only run one of each service.

Common services and port numbers:
smtp 25-tcp
http 80-tcp
dns 53-udp
pop3 110-tcp

I'm not able to detect a web server listening on port 80 at 203.145.145.145.
