First, I had a problem a few weeks ago getting Mandrake Security to let
me on the Internet. It took me awhile to find the time to get back to
this, but I was able to fix it. I found that the problem was with my
DNS server not resolving names to addresses correctly. Anyway, I think
a couple of people from Mandrake were waiting to hear back from me so we
could figure out if this were a bug. Just wanted to say it's not, it
was my error.
Now for my next problem. :-) Now that I have the firewall working, I
enabled outside access to my web server, or at least I thought I did.
My web server runs on a separate server (Linux/Apache of course) at ip
address 192.168.1.2. I set up Internet Access to allow port www and
told it to forward to 192.168.1.2, but it does not work. When I go to
the external IP address in a web browser, I get the webserver running on
the firewall instead of on 192.168.1.2. Can I shut down httpd on the
firewall without any problems? I know I would need httpd-naat to use
the NAAT tool, but what about just httpd? Also, I set up port nntp
forwarding to the same server, and it doesn't work either.
Can somebody help me out with this one? I haven't done port forwarding
like this before, so I'm not real sure what to do in the first place.
Thanks,
Michael
