I have a system running WinXP (embedded) that will have two LAN ports. Port
1 connects to another computer and port 2 can be connected to any kind of
private or public network, or not connected to anything.
However, Port 1 and the other remote computer connects directly and static.
They will and shall only communicate with each other and nothing else. This
is the only communication point on this secondary computer. I want to be
100% sure that in any kind of situation, this connection will not have any
conflicts with what Port 2 might see.
Is the only possibility to reserve some public IP range and use this
internally for Port1 or is it some other reserved IP-range that I might use
in this case? Nothing can be installed on the computers by a customer. Any
reserved private network ranges will not do, like 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x,
192.168.x.x, as they might appear on network port 2. And also the APIPA
range is excluded.
Suggestions?
