do you use port fording to host your site. if so where did you put it on you switch or your verizon fiso router or ect.

[Echo7049]

Right now I am using port forwarding on my IPcop router firewall. I plan on migrating my web server to one of my other free IP addresses soon so that I don't have to use port forwarding. It has worked well for the past year or so though. I currently have nothing plugged into the Verizon router and the wifi is disabled. It is simply allowing the set top boxes to access the internet.

This might sound dumb but how exactly does your VLAN for your room and stuff access the internet if thats on a diff lan?

[Echo7049]

I have a router between the two VLANs.

Internet vlan -> router -> Home LAN

[Eientatsu]

@Echo7049 So you have a physical router with the WAN port in the internet lan and the LAN port in the Home LAN or is the routers WAN directly plugged into the modem and both the internet VLAN and the home LAN plugged into LAN ports?

[Echo7049]

Yes, I have a physical router connected twice to the switch.

ONT -> VLAN 1 -> Physical router port 1 -> physical router port 2 -> VLAN 2 -> cables to the rest of the house connected to VLAN 2

Instead of running a KVM, how about you use vmware ESXi?

Maybe instead of running a KVM cable all the way upstairs use cabling you already have in place.... KVM over ip. The switches aren't too expensive on eBay.
