Any one here set up a web server and got their site up on the internet off
their B&W G3 before? I would like to know if there is a way I can do this, I
have a DSL connection which I will need to forward the ports to the D-154
Wireless router, and then forward it from that router to the DSL Speedstream
5200 Modem, and then forward that port from the router to the Internet on
the Modem. I know this sounds like a portforwarding nightmare, but I have
been trying to do this for a long time. Port forwarding has always been a
thorn in my rear so if anyone knows how to make it simple and easy as
possible I would deeply appericate it. I'm running a PostNuke Site on my Mac
which is up and running ok at the moment that is till the MYSQL gets this
TMP socket error which I can figure out how to fix later on... Thanks for
your help...
Jason,
It sounds like you might be setting up your port forwarding backwards.
Port forwarding is used to get from a machine on a non-NATted network to machine on a NATted network. Your ISP (probably) gives you one IP address, but you (probably) have a network at home. To allow all of those machines to access Internet, you install a NAT device (the router) between your network and the ISP's network. The ISP sees one machine, but there are really many.
When you want a machine on Internet to access your B&W G3 server, you need to set up port forwarding in your router (the only "real" IP address you have) and forward whatever port (say port 80, for HTTP) to your B&W's web server port (usually port 80, unless you reconfigured it).
Once you do that, a machine on Internet can connect to port 80 on your router (unless your ISP blocks port 80), which connection then gets redirected to your B&W G3.
Try that and let us know how you make out.
