| 324837 | 2005-02-14 07:26:00 | I have the dsl 302g modem which was given free by telecom and I downloaded apache so I could host a website and when I check the site through my local ip it is displayed fine but I cannot check the site through my wan ip as when I type it in it takes me to my modem configuration page and when I get others to check it it says page cannot be displayed. I read something about port forwarding but do not understand. Any help would be very appreciated THANK U ALL! | Woodz (7310) | ||

You have to configure your modem to redirect traffic to your PC which has the web page on it. You are most likely behind a NAT router and when data comes in that a PC on your network has not requested then the router does not know where to send it. At present it is set for your router port 80 which is the setup page on most. You need to set forwarding of port 80 to the IP of your PC or if it cannot you may have to forward all ports to the PC. |

| 324839 | 2005-02-14 09:31:00 | www.portforward.com and use Internet Explorer to configure the modem because other browsers arent very reliable there. |

| 324840 | 2005-02-14 10:08:00 | www.portforward.com Wow, seem to be reposting that link a lot. use Internet Explorer to configure the modem because other browsers arent very reliable there.Slight correction. The web interface is poorly designed and requires IE. It is not a fault with the other standards compliant browsers. |

The web interface is poorly designed and requires IE. It is not a fault with the other standards compliant browsers.It is poorly designed I suppose, but it has nothing to do with standards compliance so why mention it. |

| 324842 | 2005-02-15 08:16:00 | ok guys thanks for all your help so far I have forwarded the port and turned off remote adminstration but still when I type in my external ip it trys to access the modem. When I get people outside my LAN to check if the site works they get the page cannot be displayed error. Whats wrong? | Woodz (7310) | ||
| 324843 | 2005-02-15 08:45:00 | Are you 100% sure the correct ports have been forwarded If you're sure & it's still not working put the server on the DMZ & expose the whole thing If it works then you know the correct ports aren't open & you'll have to open them again one by one till you get it right Or try "shields up" here www.grc.com to probe your ports & see if the correct ones are open Don't forget to take the server off the DMZ when finished & close any unused ports |

| 324844 | 2005-02-15 09:04:00 | "I'm going to assume that you only want to forward these ports to one ip address. Go ahead and enter that local ip address in both the Local Address From and the Local Address To boxes." That is from the port forwarding guide and I am not sure what ip i put in? Also after using shields up I can see port 80 is still closed. | Woodz (7310) | ||
| 324845 | 2005-02-15 09:54:00 | Scrap the Remote Administration option - You should be able to change ports but even if you cant - dont worry about it.... It's going to give you that regardless because you're origionating from an Internal IP Address, so try getting one of your mates to connect to you. They should be able to do it fine! This is just the way that some routers handle things. AFAIK, it sees you're 192.168.x.y and decides that you dont need to try and access its own internal IP because you can access the routers internal IP. Sign up for the likes of no-ip.com - They're great. If you work out how to Port-Forward, lemme know coz Ive got a mate with one who's had little success getting everything sent directly to his PC. Regards Chill. |
