In the same way that you'd set any other IP. Can you clarify exactly what issue you're having? – Shane Madden Oct 28 '11 at 21:09

As you said: The IP is for your router! If you don't put it on the router it cannot be routed (sounds logic).
From the router do DNAT to your server.

4No. Where should I start? Do you know what a router is? Don't answer! This was rhetorical but should show you that this leads to hours and hours of discussion... – mailq Oct 28 '11 at 21:18
