Dont know if this is solved or not, just thought of throwing it out there. You wont be able to access your external IP from your machine directly. Use a free web proxy of some sort to get into your machine "from the outside". http://imsosneaky.com is what I use to test stuff. Also I dont think the IP will remain constant (unless you have such a plan). You can use many dynamic DNS services. I use www.dyndns.org Also make sure your iptables rules allow port 80 -- both directions, not just incoming.
hi I want to setup a home web-server ( for experimentation ) using a dataone HOME500 broadband connection. My modem is Huawei MT841 which is configured to access the web using my ethernet card. I've setup port-forwarding (external ip port 80 to internal ip port 80) using NAT entries. The webserver I'm using is apache, the configuration seems OK. But the trouble is, whenever I try to access my external ip (http://59.93.??.??) the modem config web page shows up, which in turn not letting port-forwarding work, i guess. I tried in both FC 6 (apache 2.2) and Knoppix 5.0 (apache 2.0), with the same result. hw specs : P III 550Mhz, 128 MB ( quite old, but FC 6 runs great ! ) Can someone put in a solution please !
