Topic: SME server connect via adsl router to the internet

[Mustangsa]

HI I am a newbie in the world of SME Servers

I want to connect my server via my ADSL Linksys Router to the internet and use it a webserver.

I am using AD and SMe on the same lan network and internally it works fine, now to get it connected to the internet. On the Windows servers i am using a dns update tool called no-ip works well. My router does automatic dns updates to dyndns.org. the IP I get from them is 41.242.77.1 and router internal address is 196.5.229.200. I have als register the apdlinux server and got a static ip of 41.242.77.1 going via the same router to the internet. My APDlinux server internal address is 196.5.229.4 , subnet 255.255.255.0. I am settign up my servers all on the 196.5.229.2 to 10 on the 196.5.229.0 range , subnet 255.255.255.0. Now my linux server is 196.5.229.4 , sub 255.255.255.0.

How do i connect/configure the linux server to be able to go to the internet via my adsl linksys router 196.5.229.200 or dyndns ip 41.242.77.1 to the internet

Hope this make you understand how my network looks

I have also registered a domain called ispcoza.com via yahoo and have full admin on it via the yahoo control panel and can setup a forward on it if required. please help to setup mu linux server to access the internet and my website www.ispcoza.com

I suggest you reconfigure the server and follow the prompts, after that it should automatically connect to the internet. To test the connection run the admin panel on the server and open Test Internet Connection and this will tell you if you are connected to the internet.

Hi

To reconfigure, login to the command prompt as the root user

then type

#console

It will bring up a screen that allows you to reconfigure the server, follow the prompts, it is pretty much idiot proof

No, that's incorrect. Login as 'admin' to bring up the console menu, as I expect it says in the Users Guide.
