333012 2005-03-11 05:40:00 OK, so I managed to get my router (DSL-302G) to allow me to change settings thru its http://10.1.1.1

but now I'm struggling trying to figure out how to get my IP address, to take me to my web server instead of my router log in page.

what settings do I put in for NAT rule, and any other settings etc....
I am trying to open port 80 or at least let people see my web page from my ip address instead of my log in page.

Thanks all :)

Did you port foward port 80 to your internal IP address of the machine running the web server?

OK, sorry to be a newb, but could you please clarify these ip addresses for me as their are so many of them.

would you be meaning my internal ip address as in my local ip?

which is 10.1.1.5


if you could kindly check it for me, my ip address is

http://222.152.108.158

thanks

333015 2005-03-11 05:53:00 Your external IP gives no connection at the moment. Yes, you need to port forward port 80 with UDP and TCP to 10.1.1.5.

What are you using as a web server? Apache or IIS?

333018 2005-03-11 05:57:00 I am not familiar with your router to provide step by step instructions, sorry. However, there is a guide here (www.portforward.com) which may help. :) Jen (38)

333020 2005-08-28 13:07:00 Hi guys

I'm having the exact same problem ...just wondering if you ever found the solution Ariel :-)

I've got my internet hooked up to a Dlink 302G modem, which is hooked up to a DLink router, which assigns my PC a 10.1.1.3 ip address and I've tried EVERYTHING to get port forwarding working, but still no luck.

Pretty positively sure I've setup the NAT rule correctly, forwarding all HTTP(80) requests to my local 10.1.1.3 IP

Only article I've found that could possible explain why this still isn't working for me said this:


Because the DSL-302G runs as a router providing NAT (Network Address Translation) it is effectively impossible for any computer elsewhere on the internet to initiate network connections to your machine. The only way other computers can transfer data to your PC is as response data to requests originating from your PC (eg sending back web pages you have requested). This provides excellent security; separate firewall software is therefore generally not needed.

The disadvantage of the use of NAT by the DSL-302G is that you can't run a webserver or other service on your PC and have other people access it from the internet. Actually, you probably can by disabling DHCP on the DSL-302G, setting up a (private) static address on your PC, then configuring the NAT rules in the DSL-302G via the webserver at 10.1.1.1. Anyone who manages to get that running is invited to record the process here! Of course if you do this, then you should consider configuring a firewall on your PC to handle the new accessability appropriately.

Do any of you think this makes sense? Thought I'd check here b4 trying anything else and wasting many many more hours on this problem

Thanks all
Mark

333021 2005-08-28 21:13:00 OK Mark, I have a D-Link504, not quite the same, but similar.

These are the settings on my router (and where to find them).

To enable port 80 (the www) ... go to the routers grafix configuration (the ip of your router which in your case is probably 10.1.1.1 (mines been changed)) ... click on Advanced User Mode then click on Tools.
Near the bottom it should sayHTTP local access port. This should say 80.
Apply that setting (click on apply).
Then click on Advanced tab. You should be on a page that says NAT, make sure its enabled. Apply that as well.

That should be it, Reboot the router and you should be good to go.

Remember these instructions were for a 504, the tab names or locations may be different on your router, so look around
