I'm helping out someone with a Shaw Business account, and they have a static IP they'd like to set up and use for one specific server.
So generally, how do you set this up? Shaw forwards traffic with that static IP (and the dynamic one, too) to the router, and then... Enable the DMZ feature of the router and set the IP address of the server to the static one from Shaw and it just works? Or is there some other work to do?
Thanks for any help, Kevin
With my Shaw account, I got them to put the modem into Bridge mode, then I treated the Ethernet 1 port as though it was a port on their router, i.e. I set my firewall’s IP to the assigned static IP. If you want to do it with the Shaw modem acting as a router, I have no idea, sorry. -Adam

I considered bridge mode, but I'm trying to do this without obtaining additional hardware (i.e. a firewall box of some kind). Unless some kind soul out there has a suitable spare box to donate to a non-profit?

If there's only one device, bridge mode is dead-simple: you just set the static IP on the device, and you plug it into the modem. If there's more than one device, then, yeah... more complicated. Although if it's only two devices, you can just use a $40 switch - the 2nd device will pick up a DHCP address. -Adam
