web server behind adsl router, using napt

kpachopoulos · 07-12-2005, 03:35 PM

I have an speedtouch 510i adsl router and behind it a PC, hoping to become my web server.

First, if i have understood right i can use NAPT in order to let an outside PC enter a specific PC of my home network. However, for the time being this hasn't beem possible, because when i type "myaddress.no-ip.org" i enter my adsl router (fortunately it's password protected)

I have created the following entry in my "Napt entries" tab:

Code:

Nr  Type   Inside address    Outside address   Prot   State
1    Temp   10.0.0.3:80         unspecified:0     tcp    NONE

There are also the "Multi-NAT Entries", "Default Server" and " UPnP" tabs.

My router manual also reports:

Quote:

...you can specify the IP address in the Outside IP box on which to perform NAPT, and the Outside port. Using 0.0.0.0 as outside IP address causes a template to be created, which will be valid for every one of the SpeedTouch 500Series' NAPT enabled IP addresses established AFTER the creation of the template. In the input boxes 'Inside IP' and 'Inside PORT' you can specify the local machine and port to which traffic needs to be redirected.

What is this template thing? I don't understand.
Is NAPT another "naming" for port forwarding? Theoretically, it looks the same.
If anyone has ANY ideas, suggestions, links, tutorials (specific for speedtouch 510i) or any previous experience with this disgusting router....i 'd be happy to hear.
Thanks

for port forward demonstration locate ur router in this page
portforward.com

as soon as u port forward to port 80 right, external IPs will access your webserver but ofcourse u can't
u can either use
http://localhost
or
u can edit /etc/hosts with the webserver IP and ur site name, by this u can access ur site with just http://myaddress.no-ip.org
