That looks alright.

This isn't making very much sense.

What is the address of your gateway?  If it is 41.231.2.81, then it makes no
sense to move it to the 192.168.10 network.

 

Well, I have no great experience with routing  but I am in an internet café where I have a limited number of addresses.

so  my logical configuration is as follows


ISP  -- ROUTER   41.231.2.81 <--LAN--> 41.231.2.83 My SERVER 192.168.10.10  <--- LAN --> CLients 102.168.10.X 

I hope with that figure things are more precise

 
Thanks for help



 

If you're trying to set up a local network with NAT forwarding, then there's
more to do.
