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.
What is the static IP address that you were assigned? It seems like your DSL modem is acting somewhat like a router as well, since it is assigning an internal network IP address rather than an external one.
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
I think (because I tried alot of the same things you've tried) that Bellsouth-the ISP doesn't like people running personal webservers. What problems I had was trying to resolve DNS issues so that they could find my server-they were being routed through Bellsouth's DNS nameservers and I found out that you probably will want to use dynds? (outside DNS nameservers) to resolve the DNS problem. If you get this working you will have done something I couldn't, so keep trying! Although like the other fellow said, it's going to be difficult. Regards,
FR114P router to a Cisco 3550 switch then to my comps (3). I just noticed that on the Netgear that I
have the choice of DNS servers-(Dynamic from ISP or Use these servers). I didn't have this choice on
my older Linksys router.
The Cisco switch is a used unit that I am learning on- I know it's overkill for what I have, but what the
heck, I got it so why not use it!
