HI all,

Can anyone tell me how i can do this?
I have a SME 6.0.1 as a server for the entire house here dns and all included.

But now i have a sme second server in my room.

The problem is i want to connect to it like for instance from school. i want to be able to use ssh and see my stats site located in the primary ibay.

I tryed forwarding ports like 7000 to 80 destination second server ip. Then going to my global ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:7000 No luck. No site. I also opened the ports on my fire wall (sme first server) no luck.

Can anyone tell my how to get this working.

Thanks all

Where are you trying to access the second server from?  Is it possible that the ports you are using are being blocked from the source.  Try using port 8080 and forward to your second server.
I have a Windows 2003 server sitting behind the SME firewall and can only access it from works using the 8080 port as all the other ports have access blocks.

well i want to beable to contact it from where ever i like. And you meen port forwarding from 8080 first to 80 second?

In your port fowarding rule use port 8080 as the source port and 80 as the destination port with the correct IP address for you server behind the Firewall.  Then when you connect use http://yourdnsname:8080.  This should get you to the internal server.

If you are using SSH, it will mostly stop at the Firewall server unless you want to redirect the SSH as well.  I gather from your intial posting that you what SSH to be active on the Primary I-bay but is this the I-Bay on the Firewall / gateway machine or the one behind the firewall?

Hi Thrillseekah,

you could enable pptp and vpn to your external server, and then you can access the internal one.

I don't know how new you are to sme, so for more details just follow up the post and i'm sure someone or my self would be able to give you a better insite.

hope that helps
cheers

I tryed this but my home server has a ip and when i do xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 it gets While trying to retrieve the URL: http://rory.dyndns.org:8080/

The following error was encountered:

Connection Failed
The system returned:

    (111) Connection refused
The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.

What am i doing wrong?

by the way i know a bit about sme i have used it as a normal internet home share pc for 3 years now.But i recently started to have a more active use of it like installing a lcd and stuff.


 So if i enable pptp for 1 client i will be able to connect to my first server and then check the webpage of the second?

I'm pretty sure the port number doesn't make a difference, unless you selected a port that's being used by something else.

if you pptp to your machine you should be able to view the internal one by using it's hostname.
all and all i don't see why it wouldn't work.
port forwarding should work as well, but the primary website on your internal machine might not allow anonymous viewing, check that out as well if it doesn't work.

hope that helps
cheers
