Hi, I'm having all kinds of trouble trying to get things set up to see my website on the Internet. I know people like to claim to be newbies, but I actually am. :-) My machine (ethernet card) IP is 192.168.254.25 and I'm serving on port 8080. I can bring up the site no problem on my LAN- http://192.168.254.25:8080/, but not outside. My ISP is earthlink and it's a dynamic IP account. Right now the WAN IP is: 68.164.84.178. Trying http://68.164.84.178:8080/ doesn't work. I've opened the port, 8080, on the router. What should I look at to solve this? I have unsuccessfully scoured the complete freebsd book, handbook, and archives. But haven't found anything to address this specific problem yet, although it seems straightforward. If you think I don't understand networks exactly, you are correct; but it's not for lack of trying. Thanks for help, Micke __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
