open a port
« on: April 27, 2006, 09:25:28 PM »
I'm on SME7rc1 and I have made a custom template so that apach e listens on port 82 instead of 80. This is becuase I have forwarded 80 to another internal web server.

Anyway for some reason I cannot access my server from outside the local network on port 82  e.g. www.myserver.com:82. This works fine from the local network. The port 80 forward set up in the server manager does however correctly forward port 80 becuase I can access www.myserver.com  no problem from anywhere.

The server has a direct internet connection so eth1 is it's internet IP address i.e. it's not behind a nat.

My question is how can I open port 82 on the sme box?

It is somehow not allowing any external connections even though I can see it's listening on port 82 with "netstat -l | grep 82"

Port forward port 82 to localhost:80. No need for anything else.
