Web Server

[powerhouse]

I have a linux box running red hat 7.1, and apache 1.3.22. My web server is behind a linksys 4 port router which shares a cable modem. My web server has no domain name, so I just use my external ip address.

Here's the problem: Everything is running fine, and everyone on the LAN can get to the web site, but no outside users can. I forwarded port 80 to the local IP address, and even set DMZ too, but neither did the trick.

I'm out of ideas, and just thought you guys might be able to help. Thanks in advance!

How did you attempt the port forwading?

I think it's must be the firewall problem...that why the people in U network can excess U web but not people from outside U network .... try console U network admin for help...

It could also be that your cable ISP is blocking all port 80 requests at their routers. A lot of cable companies started doing this when the Code Red and Nimda viruses hit last time (since most cable ISP's prohibit running servers anyway ;))

Well LinkSys Router block access to all port on your machine except for normal operation related port.
So may want to check if you can open the needed port.(In your LinkSys Router Web based admin)

My ISP blocks port 80 by default, so I chose port 8888 instead, and now it works... thanks MGP!
