I have a server with a 192 IP address. It has some demo software on it that cannot use the 192 IP. Evidently its "demo" status is linked to the IP, so you can imangine that all the 192's in the world have passed their demo status for this software. I would like it to think it has my WAN IP. Is this possible?

Port forwarding would seem to do the trick, but the machine still uses its LAN IP. Would a virtual IP on eth0 do the trick?

Using CentOS 5.3
Network setup
WAN > LAN > Client
Modem > Linksys WRT54G > Server
24... 192...

So I want my server with IP 192... to think it has a 24... address


Thanks

can't see how port forwarding would help as that would remove the wan ip address before it hits your server. You could use a secondary interface, e.g. eth0:123 to hold it and add a route on each box trying to reach that ip to route via it's normal ip.

I tried adding eth0:1 as the 24... IP address. It worked. I thought that might be the solution, but it didn't work before. I forgot to add it to the DNS.
