It's the Public IP pool provided from ISP. The IP's not configured anywhere in the network.Hi. Now as JTD mentioned, you will have to have some device to which your proposed IP is bound to. If your ISP is giving you a LAN cable only then you will need a computer with 2 ethernet cards. One card connects to the ISP and it is assigned the public IP as per directions from your ISP. The other card connects to your LAN so it has the LAN subnet. Assuming that you have an ftp server in your LAN, your dual card computer will have to be configured as a router and have port forwarding for ftp, pointing to the LAN ip of your ftp server.
Sorry to nitpick, but you don't necessarily need two Ethernets on any device. You can work it just fine with a computer with a single Ethernet card and IP aliases. Create two logical networks on the machine, one for the WAN side and another for the LAN side, and they will happily co-exist on the same physical Ethernet network and interface.
Of course, you will need a small switch or a hub (do those even exist anymore?) to be able to interconnect everything.
