Here is where I am at present. My lan consists or 2 wireless laptops and one desktop, all running windows and a older machine with Ubuntu server running. I have several instances of web pages running on the server in separate directories. I have assigned a static 192.168.0.107 to the server. The router is a linksys WRT54GS. I can get to any of the web pages from any of my computers on my lan using the 192.168.0.107/~account. I want to connect to the server from the 'net'. I have a DynDNS which keeps track of my URL and I have set up port forwarding (3333 to 3333) on the router to point to to the server (192.168.0.107). However I can not get to the account using the DynDNS URL.
What do I have to setup on the server so the server can respond to an external ping or request for a web page?
I have read everything I could find and several times have screwed up the server trying some things to a point of having to rebuild the server twice. It was a fun experience but didn't solve my problem. Maybe it is age, I am 74 and probably too old to play with ubuntu but it is fun and frustrating at the same time. Any assistance (not too cryptic) would be appreciated.
