why are you forwarding ports on your server ? You should let this server, if it is meant to be server, let it "serve" the HTTP not routing TCP/IP somewhere else ?!

The fedora firewall was already installed when I did a fresh fedora 16 install. Before I couldnt access my website from other computers through my internal ip, e.g. when I type 192.168.1.100 I would always get a timeout page. Since forwarding ports through fedora firewall I can access my website through any computers that is connected to my LAN through my internal ip address.
In my routers config page, there is an option enabled "VPN Pass-Through", PPTP is enabled and IPSec is enabled. Should that be enabled? I know for a fact my server settings are fine(checked dns settings through intodns.com and everything was a success.), something is wrong with my shitty dlink router :/
can you temporarily shut down IPTABLES and try everything if it's working.
And check then your running services, which ports are used if you check:
# netstat -tapln
Code:
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3152/named
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1917/vsftpd
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:953 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3152/named
tcp 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 1931/httpd
tcp 0 0 :::312 :::* LISTEN 22569/sshd
tcp 0 0 ::1:953 :::* LISTEN 3152/named

Ok I stopped iptables and its still going to my routers config page, and this is what I got after typing netstat -tapln:
Thanks for all your help & time lithos I really appreciate you taking your time to help me.
But I think the problem is the router, because when I had fedora 10 and my server was online and working I had a different router back then. I am pretty certain that my router is messed up. Can I ask that if I buy linksys wrt54g router, would that work with adsl? because I dont have cable, and I read in some forums you need to have a dsl modem and then connect that to linksys wrt54g. Would that be better or do you know any top quality routers for a web server handling large amount of traffic?
well, I agree you need a DSL modem first to connect a router to it (I have it),
but for a high load (if you expect it) Vigor or Dlink is not a bad choice, also Linksys can cope with some amount of traffic (like 200 councurrent connections or maybe more - I don't recall any tests) with modified firmware from DD-WRT.
Maybe there is a possibility in your Dlink to reset to defaults and then set up just basic internet connection and port forward to see if anything changes.
If you can possibly get a hand on a piece of Linksys to test that would be great, even if you try with just some other brand router to see if it would work, then you can be sure to replace it.
I don't know how large you expect the traffic would be.
good luck for now.. I hope you will get it working.
