Title: Cant access sme services from outside the network
Post by: xboxer21 on December 11, 2008, 10:57:31 PM

Looks like messed up something on my SME server. It is set up as a gateway + Server. I'm unable to access my web page or even SSH from an outside network. All necessary ports are open. I Think I might have messed something up when i was making some changes. Can someone please let me know how I can fix the firewall or bring it back to its Virgin state?

Here is what I've tried so far:
Upgraded to 7.4 from 7.3
Deleted all port forwarding rules from the server-manager and ran

Code: [Select]

signal-event remoteaccess-update
Logged in as admin and Ran Reconfigure
None of these have helped so far.

Thanks for any help.

Not with this minimum amount of information. What service are you trying to access? Is that service running, did you check? Is there another router/firewall in the chain between ISP and WAN side of your SME Server?
Did you configure your remote access settings properly?

I am fairly sure executing the post-install event will reset all major SME services based on the configuration dbase:

signal-event post-install

You could also access the SME Console and run through the "Configure this Server" option.  You will likely need to change something so that the configuration utility will identify that you want it to reconfigure your server.   I would suggest enabling/disabling DHCP, saving setting, then running through the Configure this Server utility again and reset your DHCP settings.

The very first step is to check your external Interface. Make sure the outer interface is correct one.
# config show ExternalInterface
You can also verify in the file "/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq"
$OUTERIF=eth1  or eth0..?

Thanks gzartman that did the trick!!
I disabled DHCP & enabled it and everything was back to normal.
