----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Moran" <wmoran@potentialtech.com> | | I would suggest using natd's divert capability, because I've had it working | for a while with no problems. I'm not sure if what you're trying to do will | even work. | Alter your natd_flags to something like | "-f /etc/natd.conf -redired_port tcp 192.168.0.1:80 80" | (this will direct anything that comes in on port 80 to 192.168.0.1 ... see | the man page for natd for more details on the syntax) | Hmm, no good for the current set up, I'm not trying to redirect port 80 no more, I just want to have 'this' port 80 available. Web Server on FreeBSD router machine now. And DNS updater program is also on router machine. | > // 192.168.0.2 is on ed0 card going to internal network | > //192.168.2.1 is on ed2 card going to another network (eventually web server | > proper) | > | > At this point I'd like to mention something in my ifconfig readout. | > | > Now, ed0 ed2 lp0 ppp0 seem to me to be fine (and must be if internal network | > can browse internet etc) | > | > tun0 , although above suggests it is working fine , gives me an unusual | > alias address. :- | > | > tun0: flags=8051(UP,POINTTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 | > inet 14x1xx.xxx.xxx --> 172.31.22.152 netmask 0xffffff00. | | I've seen this before. A lot of ISPs are using private IPs for a lot of | their routers and hop points. If everything is configured properly, it | works OK and doesn't cause problems (that I've seen) but ... | Get your testers to try traceroutes to see how far traffic is getting. I had | an ISP once that had an endless routing loop in one of their routers that it | took us a week to convince them wasn't our mistake. | Also ... can the testers connect via IP or hostname? Can they ping Ip or | hostname? | I'll let you know when I get an answer. | > Ok, I've masked my ISP assig ed IP address for now as it is semi-permanent, | > but why has it aliased with a Class C | > internal IP address, when all my network is Class B 192.x.x.x addresses , | > can this be the cause of why external visitors can not access my sites.??? | > | > What other information do you need ??? | | The results of ping and traceroute tests above would help narrow things down. | | -- | Bill Moran | Potential Technologies | http://www.potentialtech.com | --- Checked for Viruses (Viri) , Gav...
