Cannot access from WAN

[phillw]

[RESOLVED]

Hi, I have set up apache - it appears correctly, as i can access the server via the LAN with its IP address okay.

I have used Firestarter to allow port 80, 443 and 10000 traffic thru' (10000 is for Webadmin)

The router has been told to allow web-server and HTTPS through.

I'm running 9.04, all builds are on auto-update.

the IP address is 192.168.1.69, again I can ping it from the LAN, but not from WAN :-\

My IP address may be 81.132.19.250 though - that one is the one gmail shows me as using - that one I can ping, but not connect to.

I'm betting I've missed something glaringly obvious...

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Phill.

I am not sure that it isn't working. When I go to your IP address (81.132.19.250) in a web browser I get a screen telling me that I am in var WWW!. So I am guessing your web server is ported to the outside world correctly.

On the note about pinging your server's IP (192.168.1.69), that IP can't be pinged from the outside world. It is a routable internal IP for your router. As far as the internet is concerned, that address doesn't exist. Any time you want to ping your web server, you will need to ping your external address 81.132.19.250.
