| 1357972 | 2013-10-26 03:25:00 | I've just joined Telecom's VDSL network and now have a Technicolor TG589vn v2 router. I have a static ip number and I want to set up a webserver. I have a domain that points to my external ip number, port 90. The webserver is on computer 192.168.1.12, running on port 90. I set up a rule called "Port90" which maps incoming traffic to port 90. Then I associated that rule with 192.168.1.12 However, I can't access the webserver through the external ip, or through the domain name that points to it. I can access it through 192.168.1.12:90 Can anyone give me an idiot's guide to setting things up properly? |

| 1357973 | 2013-10-26 05:12:00 | Why port 90? It should be 80 or 443. Have you set up a fowarding rule on the router with a pinhole on the firewall? | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1357974 | 2013-10-26 05:48:00 | Don't test it from your internal network, most cheap routers don't like you going *out* and then back in again. Get a friend to test it. Secondly, I wouldn't use those routers, they're prone to falling over under even moderate load... |

| 1357975 | 2013-10-26 09:36:00 | If you put it on the default HTTP port you can test it using www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com. | WarNox (8772) | ||
| 1357976 | 2013-10-27 03:45:00 | When testing visibility of webservers on my own connection I usually test with a proxy service like megaproxy. the free test is more than good enough. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1357977 | 2013-10-27 05:24:00 | Yeah megaproxy is a better test than dfeojm, coz megaproxy will show you what it actually is... And it's plausible that you'll hit your routers WebUI. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
