253276 2004-07-18 09:48:00 Hi, I am having trouble making my Conexant Web Excel ADSL modem foward port 80, so that when people type my IP address, 222.152.147.79, they will get my web server on 10.0.0.3 (internal). I have set the port of the HTML configuration to 8000 to avoid conflicts.

I also want to do the same for Remote Desktop.

I have the Virtual Server set up like this:

PUBLIC PORT PUBLIC PORT PRIVATE PORT IP ADDRESS
START END
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
80 80 80 10.0.0.3
3389 3389 3389 10.0.0.3

I have also tried DMZ, fowarding all ports which also doesn't work.

Please help

253277 2004-07-18 14:59:00 You have saved the changes then reset the router from within the Webmin interface, correct?! Chilling_Silence (9)
253278 2004-07-19 05:26:00 Yeah, of course. It reboots successfuly, gets an IP address and the settings are all there, it just doesn't work when I try, even from a computer in the local network. george12 (7)
253279 2004-07-19 05:28:00 Although this problem seems router specific, have you tried changing your webserver port to 81 just to see if it is the router or not? Growly (6)
253280 2004-07-19 05:34:00 Firmware update?

Really you can't expect too much from a cheap router :|

253281 2004-07-19 05:48:00 You say it won't work even from the local network. What happens if you put in 10.0.0.3 into your web browser? Do you get your web site?
If not then it's not a router problem!

253282 2004-07-19 05:52:00 yes, I get the site if I type 10.0.0.3 from any computer in the local network george12 (7)
253283 2004-07-19 06:41:00 Hang on a second.. You're trying to connect to yourself, correct?

That wont work!

You just have to either:
A. Post your IP here for somebody else to test
B. Trust that yes it is forwarding port 80.

I own www.dimension.net.nz
You can go there and port 80 (http) will take you to my P300 server PC running Gentoo Linux 1.4 (Its being rebuilt in three days if dyn.dimension.net.nz doesnt resolve).
I cant type in www.dimension.net.nz into a web browser and get myself, I have to go to the local IP Address.

Everybody else on the planet can however and it will forward fine for them. It wont for me though because the request origionates from within the router.

Goto www.megaproxy.com first, then to your IP and see.


Chill.

253284 2004-07-19 09:19:00 I thought that's what he was doing?

Maybe I read wrong.... silly me.

Yes, your internet line is not full duplex - your server cant respond to requests that aren't coming in -

You send request, ISP redirects to your IP. Your IP is busy seding the request - it cant get through.

Atleast that's what I deduced - I'm sure there is a proper explanation somewhere.

253285 2004-07-19 09:26:00 Something like that...

Just goto megaproxy.com and view your webpage through there
