Can you ping the servers local IP? Are you using some kind of router in front of the web server or on your LAN? The router might be trying to kick all external requests outside of the subnet. I.e.. If you have all the computers on a cable gateway /router sharing the same internet connection, and you have port 80 forwarded to your web server, if you try to use another internal client (not the web server) on the gateway to ping out to your external IP the one your DNS might be resolving to, your router might not allow "echoing" the ping. Also, if you try and view WebPages on the external IP, the router might have a hard time depending on the routing tables. I know the Linksys cable routers used to have this problem but since have upgraded their firmware to correctly route IPs.
I'm not too sure if this helps, it might be easier if you describe your setup. -Todd I sort of asked this question before but I've reworded it hoping I will get a better response. Is there a reason that my Web Server cannot be accessed by any machines on the same sub network?? I can't view webpages, cannot remotely login, cannot ping. There is no problem hitting this machine from anywhere else. any ideas would be much appreciated, Ronnie Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking. -H.Jackson Brown, Jr. _______________________________________________ LUAU mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://videl.ics.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/luau
