Static Routing My Server?
Hey guys,
I have set up a server in my home running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I can access the server itself via SSH locally at address xxx.xxx.x.xx, as it is hooked up to my router. However, I want to be able to access my server remotely via ssh and the web (so ports 22 and 80). I have searched long and hard and the best I have is that I have to give my server a static LAN address and then use DMZ or Port Forwarding. My problem lies within the address assignment. Under my router's IP, yyy.yyy.y.y, I have a tab named "Static Routing." Here it asks for Destination IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP. I have no idea what to input into these in order to give my server a static LAN address that I may then set up to be port forwarded or used in a DMZ host.
Any help in clarifying what these mean and what I need to do with them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for the help!
Would you be able to tell me how would I go about manually adding this IP address? Thank you for your explanation. :)

Static Routing is something entirely different from a Static LAN address. Check your router's DHCP settings for the range that is uses. I assume it would be something like 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.200. Manually set your server's ip address to something outside of that range, such as 192.168.1.250. Use the Port Forwarding section of your router to forward the ports you want, 22 and 80, to that ip address you assigned your server. Be sure any firewalls or other security software on the server do not block the connection.
