Re: Trying to see website from the Internet
hi, In order to eliminate the router as a cause, I made a direct connection from the DSL to the computer (no router). But I wasn't able to reach the DSL modem page from my FreeBSD box. So I installed Apache on my Windows box and ran the line to it. I am able to see the running website from the ISP-assigned LAN in this case, but still not able to reach it from the ISP-assigned dynamic IP. This leads me to believe that the problem has nothing specific to do with settings on the FreeBSD box or the router. The Windows box has no firewall, so there's no issue of blocked ports, I guess. I keep thinking it's the ISP, since I don't really understand how requests could / or could not go from the dynamic IP to the ISP-assigned LAN IP without their router or whatever.

What do you mean you installed another server on a windows box--that you tried running apache under windows and it didn't work their either? Cheers, Viktor __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

Hi, Well, it's not the router. I removed the router and went directly to the server. I actually installed another server on a windows box. And that didn't help. I called my ISP and they said they don't block ports. I'd be glad if anyone could point me in the right direction. I have set up everything as described from several sources and still the magic of appearing on the internet is not happening. It's like the dynamic ip is not forwarded to my network. I can't think of what else would be the problem.

I'm using another port from 80, because I just get the ISP modem status page when using the dynamic IP with the normal 80 port. I doubt that would be the case, it is much more likely to do with router setup. What is the make and model of your router? Cheers, Viktor __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

Trying to see website from the Internet
Hi, I'm having all kinds of trouble trying to get things set up to see my website on the Internet. I know people like to claim to be newbies, but I actually am. :-) My machine (ethernet card) IP is 192.168.254.25 and I'm serving on port 8080. I can bring up the site no problem on my LAN- http://192.168.254.25:8080/, but not outside. My ISP is earthlink and it's a dynamic IP account. Right now the WAN IP is: 68.164.84.178. Trying http://68.164.84.178:8080/ doesn't work. I've opened the port, 8080, on the router. What should I look at to solve this? I have unsuccessfully scoured the complete freebsd book, handbook, and archives. But haven't found anything to address this specific problem yet, although it seems straightforward. If you think I don't understand networks exactly, you are correct; but it's not for lack of trying. Thanks for help, Micke __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

On my LAN only. that you've told apache to listen to port 8080 Yes. --have you also entered your hostname or IP address under ServerName? Yes. There seems to be no problem with Apache. The site is being served fine. It's the internet getting the signal, that's the problem. __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

This is not an direct answer to your question, but if you're using a dynamic IP I suggest you go to, for an example DynDNS, and get a name for your site. After that you should install some kind of daemon that updates (in this case) DynDNS to reflect your dynamic IP-changes. In that way you should always be able to connect to your box! But all that I guess you've already figured out. :-) Thanks. Yes. I have a domain. But setting it up doesn't do any good since there is no IP it can connect to. __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
