Server from inside LAN

It's not that complicated really.

Quote:

If you run Mandrake Control Center (mcc), and click on Security, you should have several options and 2 of the options are Firewall and Router.

Click on the Router option and you will supply which nic is internal lan and which is internet, it's that easy.

Click on Firewall and you will be able to open/close ports. Thats also quite easy.

From:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...22#post1366222

(But I did read, " If you have dial-up, a cable modem, or DSL or ISDN, you're all set. If you have multiple outgoing connections or multiple internal networks, however, you're in trouble. Mandrake's wizard is only configured to deal with one Internet connection and one local connection."

http://www.unixreview.com/documents/...0113/0202i.htm)

Another option is you can flush out your rules at boot and install a new script to run at boot. e.g:
http://www.shorewall.net/ - maybe?

hope this helps

edit
BTW have looked through this thread
and I may have missed it
but what distrobution are you using for your
gateway / router
It seems to me that you might have had a lot less trouble
using IPCop or Smoothwall etc
which are dedicated to this task
and have guis / control panels
specially setup to do what you are trying to do

I never said did I

I am actually using Slackware 10 on this machine.

micxz · 01-20-2005, 02:29 PM

And here I am looking at your distro, " Distribution: Mandrake 10".
Oh well. Close enough.

I feel like a right prat

I completely forgot about that. I use Mandrake on my 'normal' computers, which is why it says that.

hello

I just want to ask,

I have 2 computers running linux w/apache 192.168.1.500 and 192.168.1.501
and I have 1 external IP that goes to 192.168.1.500 where I am hosting webpages
but also I want to use the other computer with the same external IP

internet--->IP 68.222.111.20:80--->192.168.1.500---->3w.domain1
.............................................. |.............. --------3w.domain2
.............................................. |.............. --------3w.domain3
.............................................. |
.............................................. | other computer
.......................................... [----192.168.1.501------3w.otherdomain1
....................................................................------3w.otherdomain2
....................................................................------3w.otherdomain3

any idea??

Did you ever get this working? If so how? I am having a very similar problem and not getting any help.

Thanks,

Tony

andrewjjones · 04-22-2005, 02:07 PM

I'm sorry to say it, but I'm afraid not. I think the best option is to get a wireless access point and Smoothwall. That's what I had to do in the end!
