Topic: problem redirecting HTTP request to SME server with D-link d

[Richter Belmont]

hello all,

I am hoping if some of you can help me with the problem I am having

I got me an adsl connection today and using d-link dsl-500 (adsl modem / router) for the connection

I didn't have too much problem making connection and sharing connection with SME server.  That's not the problem


The problem is, I want to make adsl modem to redirect HTTP request (80) to apache on SME server.

I have added the following entry under Port Redirection in config mode
HTTP  80  80  TCP  192.168.0.2

but it doesn't seems like working
(192.168.0.1 is the modem and .2 is SME server)

any idea people?

Make sure your ISP isn't blocking port 80, also, try accessing the page from outside your internal network.

hey Nathan, thanks for you feedback but I figure it out

gees no wander it didn't work

in my last thread I said the adsl router is 192.168.0.1 and the SME server is .2
so I was trying to forward port 80 to 192.168.02

this is perfectly fine you know
however what I didn't realise is that my adsl router was running DHCP service from 192.168.0.2 - .33

so there were ip conflict
once again gees... I didn't know it was running DHCP

anyway I fixed the problem an it's all fine now
thanks Nathan
