http access only from within local network
« on: April 15, 2002, 02:44:11 AM »
I am running SME 5.1 and have my domain registered with dyndns. (I have had http access working fine with ver 4).

When I check my primary website locally, it works fine.  However, people outside my local network cannot gain access.  Typically their browser message is "Server not available" or it just hangs and dosn't make a connection.

I have permissions set to "everyone" and "entire network".

Any ideas.  Could it be blocked from my ADSL provider?

If everything was working fine with 4.x then it doesn't sound like your dsl provider was blocking anything.  When you installed 5.x did you install as "public" or "private" gateway/firewall?  It sure sounds like it it acting as a "private" installation.

I reviewed the settings and yes this was installed as "Server and gateway".  

Any other ideas which could prevent outside access to the webserver?

It must add an externe adresse in your apache configuraton on port 80 (httpd.conf).
That's all.
