You may have other things that you still have to configure, but I have a home LAN on which I run a PostgresSQL server on a machine behind my ppp-machine. I can successfully run psql from the shell account on my ISP's machine and connect to my PostgresSQL server. This is what I have in ppp.conf: # Redirect postgreSQL connections to base586 alias port tcp 10.0.0.2:5432 5432 For your webserver, what you have looks right. Some things to try: 1. Can you run a web browser on arnold and contact your web server? I assume you've tried this and it works. 2. Just a telnet to port 80 won't do anything... it appears that ``nothing happens''. You need to issue a query. This is what I get with my webserver (apache) when i type ``get'': bash$ telnet localhost 80 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to base486.home.org. Escape character is '^]'. get <HTML><HEAD> <TITLE>400 Bad Request</TITLE> </HEAD><BODY> <H1>Bad Request</H1> Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<P> </BODY></HTML> Connection closed by foreign host. bash$ Good luck.
