I am new to the world of networking and am having a hard time to solve this issue.

I want to access my server from outside by configuring the server IP in DMZ host but it is not giving me access from outside.

I think the problem is the switch because the server is not connected directly to the router so I should configure the switch IP inside DMZ host or what?

  • if your router has another port, what if you plug another comp into your router, not on your "switch", can that comp access your server?

  • @barlop thanks for your reply but actually i don't have extra port on the router and more if i connect the server directly to the router then the LAN users will not be able to access the server locally .

If the switch is just a normal consumer grade switch, then don't worry about it unless it is completely not working.

In the router config, you need to enable the DMZ and have it send all traffic to your server's IP address. Or, you can setup port forwarding and just forward the ports you need to the server instead.

If the DMZ thing really isn't working and everything else seems fine, try port forwarding instead.
