Hi all,
I have a Win7 64bit server running VMware workstation v9.0.4. This is connected to my home Verizon FIOS account. I created a vitrual win2012 server to host my web site and I am using NOIP for DDNS. This all works great. But I have come to learn that having a home account, you can't open port 25 for SMTP. For this I need a business account. Here is what I am thinking, please let me know if you think this will work:
1. Purchase and install FIOS business account (comes with a modem/router)
2. Install a second NIC card in the server.
3. connect the second NIC card to the FIOS business router.
4. assign the VM win2012 server to an IP address within the new router (home network 192.168.1.xxx, business network could be 192.168.2.xxx).
5. port forward 80 to this IP.
I don't want to order anything until I know it will work. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Rick
