[fixed]port fowarding

Post by Obadiah »

im setting up a vpn using 2 linksys vpn routers and i also have our webserver plugged into it as well, i need to find out how to setup port forwarding so that all requests going to the webserver will reach the server. i thought i had it right but if i goto anouther machine the website is still down. I can see the website from the webserver but not from any other machine.

Port Forwarding

Post by timclaason »

If you're doing a web server that you want accessible by the whole world, you could make it a DMZ.

Otherwise, do you have port 80 forwarded to the web server?

What web server are you using? Are you on a Windows OS or *Nix? It may be something as simple as some kind of configuration is not allowing the web server to serve out pages.

Otherwise, do you have firewalling going on? Is it blocking?

Are you able to access the web server from machines on its network? Any other machine at all?
