-------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope this helps Set up: I do want my webserver connected to the world. I have my cable modem connected to my router. The router is connected to the linux box. I configured the router to set the linux box's IP address to be in the DMZ (I assume this opens up the ports). I have other devices connected to the router as well. Step1: When outside of my home and away from my private network I open a browser and type in the public IP of my home system 76.88... and the standard Apache Fedora test page displays on the browser (yay, just as I expected). Step2: I have my wordpress blog located at http://76.88..../wordpress and when I try to access it, the browser trys to open the private IP address of my webserver 192.168.... instead of the public IP 76.88.../wordpress . I am a newbie and don't understand why it seems to try and redirect the request. _________________________________________________________________ E-mail for the greater good.
