Of course it is a real IP number. However, the poster clearly did NOT
intend you to assume that that was the real IP number he intended to
use, but rather was a fake number (in the real routable IP address
range) to illustrate what he wanted to do. 


If you were trying to imply that he should not simply grab some public
number if he has not arranged for the owner to use that number, you are
correct. Not only is that irrespnsible, but almost certainly will not
work, since the world will not know how to route packets to him. So not
only is it irresponsible, it is also pointless since it will not work. 
But we have no idea whether he has permission to use that publick IP or
not. And the one he plans to use is almost certainly not 20.20.20.20.

Except that in this case the OT clearly wanted to use a genuine, public
address, not a private address, but also did not want to tell us the
public address he really wants to use. (Using some other poor sucker's
IP address is clearly far better than using his own)

This is not an hw-assignment.

I don't know the what specific IP-addresses will be used (it's not
really important which specific IP-address), other than computer2
should have an external IP-address and be connected to a switch, and
then the switch connected to a router. Computer1 should have one(or
possibly more) internal/private IP-address(es), as described in the
original post.

Computer2 should be directly accessible from the internet, no NAT
should be used in the router. The router can be manually configured
with routes.

The problems I see is that traffic between computer1 and computer2
will not work because ARP will not be able to resolve MAC-addresses
between the two, since they are on different subnets.
A solution could be to manually add the MAC-address of computer2's IP-
address to both computer1 and the router?

Also, the router might have problems ARP-ing for computer2's IP-
address since on different subnet.
A solution could be to manually add computer1's and the router's MAC
addresses to computer2?

Or are there better solutions for this, for example by adding a
private IP-address to computer2 as well on the same interface as the
public IP-address? Then no manual ARP-configuration would be needed in
any of the computers of router, the only thing is that computer2 would
have to be configured to forward packets between its internal and
external IP-address/subnet.

So it must be on some network which can physically resolve that IP to a
MAC.

Note that another way of doing it would be for the router to be set up
to forward all queries to its own public IP address to that machine
(computer 2). That is how I work it.

If you have a router that can handle two WAN (internet) IP numbers and keep
them separate.  

I think it would be easier to have two internet connections, each with its
own WAN IP - and no router or switch connected to either of them, unless
you want to share one of those connections between two or more computers on
your own local network (LAN).

If you want to have a computer connected to two networks (eg the WAN and
your own LAN), it will need two network interface cards (NICs) - Wifi or
Ethernet.  In effect, the computer becomes its own router.

But you haven't explained what you're trying to achieve or why you think it
necessary to have two WAN IPs or what your objection is to NAT.  If we
knew that it would be easier to offer advice.

Keep in mind, one of the original requirements was to have any public
ip address not supplied by his ISP to route to his router without
buying a second ip address.

Cannot be done, how is the 'Internet' going to route that spurious IP address?

What can be done is to run, for example, virtual web servers that respond 
to different domain names on the same IP, perhaps that is OP's desire?

I have registered several domain names and they all resolve to the same 
IP number supplied by my ISP.  First hop from a single IP is the ISP, 
cannot be another way AFAIK.

Lets be fair. He did not state that, but some of us wondered if that was
the case. That is impossible, and will also get you disconnected from
the net by his ISP. 

If we are charitable, then he is on a network and has received a public IP
address from his ISP for Computer2 (C2). He also has a router which connects a private
address network together (say 10.x.y.z) That router presumably also has
a public IP address on his ISP's network. How can he get C2 to be able
to talk to C1 which is on the private network? IF this is the question,
then there are at least 2 possibilities. 
a) put two network cards into C2, one of which has the public address,
and the other has and address on the private network. Set up the routing
tables on C2 so that any packets for the rest of the world go out
through the first interface, and any for the private (10.0.0.0 netmask
255.0.0.0) go out the other. 

b) Set the router to have the public IP address, but install it so that
any packets that come to the ports he wants open to go directly to the
private IP of C2. (port forwarding). I assume he wants only a few ports
forwarded (eg ssh, httpd, ftp,)  This will require only one public IP
address (for the router). This works fine-- I do this on my home
network so I can get in from work. In this case because the "router" is
via a cable network with dynamic IP address, I send a packet every 5 min
to the work machine so it knows what the surrent IP address of the
machine is, and installs that address into appropriate places (
/etc/hosts, /etc/postfix/transport,...)


What will NOT work is for him to assign himself some public IP address
and expect it to work (since noone in the world will know how to get to
his home network).

IIRC  I mentioned he would have to buy another ip and he replied
back he did not want to buy second ip.

Then port forwarding is the only way.

Yes, this is the question.

I guess two network cards is not really needed, one network card can
have two IP-addresses (alias), both the private and public IP-address.
Both IP-addresses will then have the same MAC-address.

# ip addr add 30.30.30.30/24 brd + dev eth0
# ip addr add 10.10.10.11/24 brd + dev eth0

or similar using ifconfig:

# ifconfig eth0 30.30.30.30 netmask 255.255.255.0
# ifconfig eth0:0 10.10.10.11 netmask 255.255.255.0

Or will this cause some problem since both the private and public IP-
address will have the same MAC-address?

Never tried this so I do not know, but that public address MUST be
assigned by your ISP, who can then put it into his MAC tables. 
We have no idea how the OP is connected to his ISP. modem? dhcp?
University lan, company lan,....?

It does not matter: As long as the next hop upstream does not
know to route the IP to the OP, the game is lost.

The home-router is connected to the ISP router via DHCP. And the ISP
knows how to route to the public IP-address of compter2.

In my original post I tried to simplify what I want to achieve. But
what I am trying to setup is the same network as in the original post,
but all traffic (incoming and outgoing) should go via computer1 which
has the internal IP-address. Computer1 could then potentially become a
bottleneck, but it will have enough capacity.

Both computer1 and computer2 are linux machines.

So the question is really how to setup a network like this. I don't
want to use more than one public IP-addresses for computer2 and one
public IP-address on the outside of my home-router which connects to
the ISP-router. Computer2/home-router should not be using NAT.

To get this network setup working more private addresses can be used.

Is the following a feasible network setup (I have changed the IP-
numbering from the original post to possibly make it clearer)?

C2 will have one NIC with two IP-addresses which have the same MAC
(i.e. IP-alias), 50.50.50.51 and 192.168.1.3.

In the incoming direction:
The home-router will be configured with a next hop of 192.168.1.2 (C1)
for packets destined to 50.50.50.51.
C1 will be configured with a next hop of 192.168.1.3 (C2) for packets
destined to 50.50.50.51.
Then C2 will be configured to forward packets to 50.50.50.51 when it
receives packets on its interface with 192.168.1.3.

In the outgoing direction:
C2 will be configured with a default gateway of 192.168.1.2 (C1), and
be configured to put source address 50.50.50.51 in its packets.
C1 will be configured with a default gateway of 192.168.1.1.
Home-router will be configured with a default gateway of the ISP-
router.

Resulting in a network setup like this:

                       C2
  C1                 192.168.1.3
  192.168.1.2    50.50.50.51
  |                     |
  -----------------------
  |           switch      |
  -----------------------
   |
 192.168.1.1
 Home-router
 50.50.50.50
  |
 ISP-router



Is this the easiest/best/most standard way of setting up the network,
given that NAT should not be used for C2?

This way all traffic will go via C1, which is what I am trying to
achieve.

Why?  Having the router route 50.50.50.51 straight to C2 would be more
efficient.

A reason could be to run/implement some software application on C1 for
prioritization based on payload content, i.e. packet inspection.

Which all slows everything down. The slow part of the network has already
occured. His internal network can be Gb. The computer to isp is going to
a few Mb.

Yes, I agree. The purpose of this setup however is to implement/run/verify some packet inspection software on C1 which prioritize packets based on payload content. The purpose is not to try to get higher throughput to C2.
