Basically I used to have a FreeBSD gateway system, it ran various network services for my network and some remote users via the internet, smtp, httpd, ftp, pop etc etc. It was equipped with a second network card (first was going to the cable modem), which was connected to a 4 port netgear hub. Now I have changed the network setup, as I purchased a wireless broadband router. This works great, it is linked to the wired machines via a Ethernet hub, and serves 2 wireless laptops (running windows) as well. However the problem I am now having is, that users via the internet, cannot access any of my network services by using the hostname of my system. i.e. Users cant browse to codegurus.org, but they can browse to my IP address. The same is to be said for SMTP connections, pop, ftp etc. I have verified that the router is forwarding the ports to the internet by running a nmap scan on my IP address from a remote machine that I have access to. I have also verified that the hostname still points to my IP address. Here is some system information: uname -a FreeBSD codeguru.org 5.2.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE #4: Wed Oct 13 21:55:19 BST 2004 :/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CODEGURUS i386 ifconfig sis0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.4 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:09:5b:69:7e:ec media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active I could understand this being a apache vhost problem, if it was simply a apache issue. But for the life of me, I am lost as to why the ports would appear open when scanned. But not accept connections via my hostname. Thanks for any help, if you need me to post some configuration files, then please just ask. Thanks again.
