I will read that post real thoroughly and hopefully the DNAT clue will begin to reveal where I don't see the solution yet. Meanwhile, after about a year of living with this??
)) tonite @ dinner it dawned on me (have we got a light bulb lite.gif to put here?). I got SAMBA, I got it good, works puurfeectly; it was a nasty messy ridiculously terible beastly whore to install! (piratebiter, don't mince words... tell us how U really feel!) anywho... all I gotta do to "see" the site on Explorer is open Network Places on the Gates~a~Box, go to the
www.Server Folder and open the file for the site I wish to view and click the index or some relevant page... comes right up and is a good simulation of what the world sees... sheesh...!
So EZ when U knows how, Pogo. So, I'm still intrigued with solving this the correct way but at least I can mess with the site and do a bit of checking without dropping the firewall each time. Thanks for the link to the fix I'll READ that... but not tonite
zzzz
