access my computer from the web - help please!

Also, remove that search line from the /etc/resolv.conf You can do this just by editing the file, or when you go through the config, make sure the box with the search name workgroup in is blank. This usually causes problems, and is best removed. Also, leave zeroconf blank as well.

Those settings look OK just make sure that the static IP you have allocated isn't going to get issued by your DHCP server. I personally, as you have the range 2-40, would set the static to 50 instead of 13, that way you guarantee it's not in the same range.

 

Your DNS is pointing to the router, this is OK, but you still have the search domain "WORKGROUP". To remove this:

 

su (supply root password when prompted)
vi /etc/resolv.conf
press i
move the cursor using arrow keys to beginning of search line and press DEL until the whole line has been deleted, and just leaving your DNS server.

 

If that fails to work, then edit the /etc/resolv.conf again and put the ISP's DNS servers instead.

it still does not work.

i set the network to static ip with the settings as shown in the following picture :

 

now here the etc/resolve.conf :

 

nameserver 194.168.8.100

nameserver 194.168.4.100

# nameserver 192.168.2.1

 

# ppp temp entry

 

Does it matter that i have a wireless connection (i included the settings for my access point as well in the other pics, just in case )

i change my virtual server settings to :

 

private ip : 192.168.2.15 - private port : 80 - Type : tcp - Public port 80

 

it seems to work since i have an ip address.

 

however, i would like to be sure everything works fine.

 

Could anyone click on the following links to see if they work :

Both fine.

Both OK. Final box on mag was empty - but probably I'm missing a plugin... :unsure:

[photoworks]

plugin is flash player 7

I think it's OK - I get the presentation. I just thought one particular white box might have had some text in...

I tried this morning, but can only assume your system was shut down :P

 

Glad you got the IP sorted eventually, strange though you had to make a change on the access point. Unless, because the IP you were using was in it's DHCP range, that it wouldn't allow access until it was outside of the DHCP range. Now you've changed to 15, this would allow the router to show that 13 is now spare.

what i noticed is that my access point is always taking the 192.168.2.13 ip address, so i set my ip range on the router from 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.14

 

and i set my static ip address on my computer at 192.168.2.15

 

It seems to be the only way i can have a static ip address and a working network connection.

 

My system was indeed shut down this morning. i usually turn it on around 6.00 pm.

 

 

[ianw1974]

:D glad it's all working fine.

 

I think your router knew you were trying to use an IP that was in it's DHCP range, and blocked you from accessing the internet because the router knew it didn't allocate it to you! :P
