Thanks for the reply.I'm new to this so your explanation really helps.The dsl modem's set-up page is at 192.168.1.254.It is also the default gateway.Here is resolv.conf; domain no-ip.info nameserver 192.168.1.254 nameserver 192.168.1.254 search launchmodem.com I have a static address.
2. It appears to me odd that your DSL MODEM has an IP address, but you're running a server behind it. Usually, I see the DSL MODEM acting transparently. So the setup looks more like: I tried setting the gateway to my static address but that didn't work.When I set it at 192.168.1.254 it connects me to the WAN. I would not be surprised that I,m going about this in the wrong way,because all I do is search google and I'm sure I make mistakes. On the modems set-up page is the pppoe user name and password for bell south my isp.The box at 192.168.1.96 is this box that I use all the time and I am also serving web pages(apache2,php4,mysql) etc.I did two things in the modems.I opened port 80 and forwarded it to 192.168.1.96.This took me a while to figure out. I have a dlink router here but when I try to access the configuration page 192.168.0.1 I get a connection refused.again thanks -- [email protected] mailing list
