fissy Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 (edited) hey all, i'm using a connexant router to connect to the net (PPPoA, thats BT's adsl to you and me) and am running a webserver on a private network (the 192.168.0.x range). I'm using the DMZ functionality so that people can access my webserver/email etc. This works fine, so long as i am trying to connect from a computer on the internet, i can't connect to my own webserver from inside the network. A client computer queries the dns system, gets the external ip address of the router, but the router won't forward the packets, resulting in a "request refused." I can sort of cheat by assigning a bunch of hostnames eg www2.domain.net (edit: which resolve to internal ipaddresses, ie. 192.168.0.10), but i find this far from ideal (i can't test my apache virtual servers) If anyone has any experience of making this work, please help! :) fissy Edited April 24, 2004 by fissy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fissy Posted April 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 bump! to clarify, external requests are forwarded to the server fine, requests originating from the server's private network aren't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
