Hi,

I got a problem reaching my webserver through my own LAN, from outside there's no problem reaching it.

My LAN looks like this:

I have a DI-804 Router/Firewall wich 'hosts' a couple of machines and provide them with a internet connection via a switch. On this switch I also have set up a machine (Mandrake 8.1) with a apache webserver.

Anyone who can give me some hints why this is? Is something setup wrong or...

you may need to add an explicit route on your firewall to handle getting the packets from your webserver //back// to your internal boxen.


Not 100% sure, but at first glance, your setup would have outside ip on the webserver and outside ip on the firewall, the inside boxen would have inside ips. the webserver may not know how to route the packets, or the firewall could be dropping them (based on the inside ips)

Hi there!
What`s routing alike on the webserver?
Are request-packets reaching the webserver ?
=> tcpdump,snoop for your LAN-IP`s
If packets are reaching the webserver, then do a traceroute to your router.
Maybe the webserver can`t find it ?
Maybe the router blocks the answer-packets ?

Guess we need the routing-table of the webserver and your router in order to give some advise..
