I have set up the webserver according to all the instructions...I think. I just cant seem to acess it from outside my LAN. Typing in my external IP should do it right? Also, how do I select my external IP?

Hey CrimsonPh33r,
how about a little more info first!
1) Which SME version are you using?
2) Is it set up as Sever/Gateway or Server only?
3) Do you have a router between the SME and your internet connection?
4) Which ISP service are you using?
5) Do you know if your ISP blocks ports?
With a little more info, we can start troubleshooting with you.
Good luck

Your ISP might be blocking port 80 access. Many do. Try accessing via https - that might be open.

Yes.
Also, how do I select my external IP?
It's usually automatically configured by your ISP. If you have a static IP connection through a router, then your ISP will have told you the IP address, and you would have configured it via the console when you chose "static IP" for the WAN connection.

In my setup, I had to port forward (port 80) through the Alcatel speedtouch pro to the ip number of the server.
Then, in my browser, I had to enable my isp's proxy to be able to access my own external ip number.
HTH.

1) I am using the latest version, just DLed last week
It is in gateway server mode
I have a router in between and I am forwarding port 80
My ISP does not block any ports which would make any difference
I think the problem is that my external IP is not properly configured. I just left the default, and just mailed my ip asking for the correct one.
-
OK I think I now have my external IP set up fine, but which ports should I be forwarding to the server exactly?

Hi CrimsonPh33r,
it depends wich service you want provide to the outside, you can follow those examples for kinfd of isp like services:
my internal ip is 10.0.0.1 and outside ip is dynamic in my case so I allow port forwarding from any ip (0.0.0.0), as you have an fix ip you can set it instead of 0.0.0.0
#web services
10.0.0.1:80 0.0.0.0:80 http
10.0.0.1:443 0.0.0.0:443 https
# admin cli
10.0.0.1:22 0.0.0.0:22 ssh
#data
10.0.0.1:20 0.0.0.0:20 ftp
10.0.0.1:21 0.0.0.0:21 ftp-data
#mail
10.0.0.1:465 0.0.0.0:465 ssl-smtp (ssmtp)
10.0.0.1:993 0.0.0.0:993 ssl-imap (imaps)
10.0.0.1:995 0.0.0.0:995 ssl-pop3 (pop3s)
10.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:25 smtp
10.0.0.1:143 0.0.0.0:143 imap
10.0.0.1:110 0.0.0.0:110 pop
...
try to forget ftp and ftp-data and use scp or sftp over ssh (port 22) wich is secure. As well as ssmtp, imaps & pops wich could be use instead of smtp, imap & pop
regards,
Jerome
