![]() Hi group, Is it possible to set up a web server at home with the Pipex Solo 250 service? Does this service use a dynamically assigned ip address? Does Pipex block incoming port 80, or port 21 for that matter? I have got apache installed at home and using port 80. I'm using a router that has port 80 opened forwarded to the apache server. I just can't access the server from my pc at work. I'm using the ip address that is currently assigned by looking at the router's config page. Any ideas? I'm using a Mentor ADSL wireless router (perhaps there's more configuration than just setting up the virtual server on the router). Perhaps I'm just using the wrong ip address - I can't ping it from work. Help! Kind regards Tim |

Theoretically, unless they're blocking port 80, then yes you can. What happens if you "telnet your ip address 80" ? This will let you know at least if any traffic can get through to Apache and then if there is a configuration error within Apache itself. If that doesn't work, tell Apache to listen on a different port, something totally random. Set up the router to forward on to that port and try again. Etc etc. You'll need to narrow down exactly *where* the connection is failing e.g. your ISP, router or Apache. http://www.no-ip.com/ i had one on my pipex 500, i phoned to ask if it was ok,a nd they said yes |

I set Apache to port 1080 and set the ip forwarding on my router to 1080 as well, but the same problems occur. My ip address changes only when I re-start the router, I think it's called a 'sticky' ip. I set up a dial-up account with wanadoo to test the connection and have the same problems. Does anyone know which part of the router admin pages indicates your ip? I was sure I was using the correct one, but now I'm thinking I could be making silly mistakes. Although my router is by Mentor, it uses the connexant admin. I am basically doing what it says in the 'Configuration - Virtual Server' part of this web page ... http://www.cazart.plus.com/conexant/ Just to sum-up. 1. My apache server is on 10.0.0.11:80 and I can access it from other PCs on the internal network. I assume I don't need to modify my Apache settings any further when using a router? 2. My router's virtual server is set up to allow port 80 (and port 1080) to forward on to my internal web-server (10.0.0.11). 3. I have obtained my wan ip address from the router's config page. Having read what I've just written, my initial thoughts are that I'm getting the ip address wrong - is there any way I can be sure I get the right one? Kind regards Tim |

![]() I tried telnetting but still had the same problems! I reckon it's some setting on my router. Richard Sobey wrote in message . ..

![]() Still having no joy with this. My 'Mentor' router uses Conexant firmware. Can anyone give me a full list of settings that I should use to get a web server running? I've trued these settings, but no joy. www.cazart.plus.com/conexant/ |

![]() Sorry if Im asking obvious questions but which IP address are you typing into your browser ? I assume that you are not using 10.0.0.11 ? you must use the WAN IP address of your router. Again, sorry if you knew this. Tim (Bjorn) wrote in message . com... Still having no joy with this. My 'Mentor' router uses Conexant firmware.
