Where to put a computer with Public Address?

Question

Hi,i have to publish a computer with a public IP, for remote assistanceand help desk purpouse.They want that i configure this computer with a public IP, withoutnatting its address, (i mean, i want to configure that Public IPdirectly on that machine).I currently use IPCop as firewall applicance, only RED INTERFACE andGREEN INTERFACE are in use.Where should i put that computer?1) On DMZ? Can i set a public IP to DMZ, and let IPCOP route packets(without doing NAT), to that pc?2) Should i attach that computer to the WAN interface of the firewall?Let's say, the WAN network of IPCOP will then containROUTER_LAN,IPCOP_WAN and PC interfaces?Thanks you in advance, Simioni Marco

What does "publish" mean? Exactly!All you probably need is to buy a static IP (a small block of 4 or 8 is often the minimum) and then assign one public IP to your router. Then forward the required ports. Probably, the point is, that you need a public static IP presence on the Internet to allow them to get to your machine, right?-Frank
