Hi, I bought a static IP for home use. So I use one router and configured it for the static IP. I also have 4 LAN IPs for use. My imagination is I set up the server by using one IP address (router is still have), so everyone can connect to my server. Is this possible? If yes, how do I do it? Please answer me.

Have you tried port forwarding or UPnP? How many static IP addresses do you have?

You need more than one static IP address if you want to put your server on the LAN AND allow other computers on the LAN to get to the internet. One static IP will allow access to your server, and a 2nd static IP can be shared by all other machines on the LAN (your router has to support NAT and 1:1 NAT.

You rally should do some research regarding networks, how they work, and how to set one up in such a way as to protect your LAN.

Google is your friend.

BTW, you could probably do this with one static IP if your router supports port forwarding. Just forward all packets on port 80 to your server (assuming it's a web server), but I would go with more than one static IP if it were me. I have five static IPs myself.
