Topic: Internet Access

[Smitheux]

Hello,
I have installed SME in server-only behind a Dlink router-n-switch (DI-206).
I've got a dyndn.org domain.name (mine.nu) updated normally.
All access in Lan (4 win98) works very well , but i can't access from WAN (Internet Access) neither to my server and my web site nor to e-bays.
I did understand that i had to forward port 80 from my router to my SME . I did my best but nothing good got out of that.
I really don't think that my ISP blocks ports (wanadoo).
This problem drives me crasy because i can't go ahead and conf. other mail and wab servers and stuff on my SME.
Please if you have resolved this problem post
I saw the white papers for filters of Dlink.... no results
If you met such a problem , need ur help.

By default, your router probably blocks all incoming IP traffic from outside. Therefore you have to set port forwarding for the ports you want to use from outside to the internal IP address of your server.
(80 for http, 443 for https, 25 for stmp, etc)

Also, you have to change the security settings on your in the SME server manager (from private to public access for the services you want to access) because for security reasons most services are limited to the local network by default.

I don't know the D-link router, but the filters probably have nothing to do with it (unless the default settings are blocking several ports, but I guess that's not the case). It's the portforwarding you'll have to deal with.
