[PLUG] Setting up home web server using dataone MT841 modem

[kdr lx]

Dont know if this is solved or not, just thought of throwing it out there.
You wont be able to access your external IP from your machine
directly. Use a free web proxy of some sort to get into your machine
"from the outside".
http://imsosneaky.com is what I use to test stuff. Also I dont think
the IP will remain constant (unless you have such a plan).
You can use many dynamic DNS services. I use www.dyndns.org
Also make sure your iptables rules allow port 80 -- both directions,
not just incoming.


hi

I want to setup a home web-server ( for experimentation ) using a

dataone HOME500 broadband connection. My modem is Huawei MT841 which
is configured to access the web using my ethernet card. I've setup
port-forwarding (external ip port 80 to internal ip port 80) using NAT

entries. The webserver I'm using is apache, the configuration seems
OK.
But the trouble is, whenever I try to access my external ip
(http://59.93.??.??) the modem config web page shows up, which in turn

not letting port-forwarding work, i guess.

I tried in both FC 6 (apache 2.2) and Knoppix 5.0 (apache 2.0), with
the same result.

hw specs : P III 550Mhz, 128 MB     ( quite old, but FC 6 runs great ! )


Can someone put in a solution please !
