i have purchased a belkin 4-port cable/dsl gateway router. everything configured great except the fact that my http server cant start up now. im just running 1 red hat machine behind the belkin. it is running on the LAN address of 192.168.2.91 my service provider has assigned my router the ip address of 66.215.133.99 i updated my noip service to 66.215.133.99 and have tried to configure my router for port forwarding just like noip says to http://www.no-ip.com/tips/id/3

belkin suggests using what is called the virtual server which it says it is port forwarding. when i use the virtual server setting it just plain doesn't work. in the virtual server you haft to supply the ip address of the the computer on the LAN hosting the web page which i have done 192.168.2.91.

any ideas out there what am i missing here that should be it, in theory it should work right.
thanks,

just incase someone else may ask this question in the future. just add your lan ip to hosts in your network configuration. like this

IP NAME ALIASES
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.2.91 www.schrock321.com schrock321


then configure your belkin router to use port forwarding under virtual servers for http.

I had the same problem.

On some ip adresses the port forwarding doesn't work.

It worked on ip 192.168.1.4 and 192.168.1.8,
but not on 192.168.1.9, 192.168.1.10 ....
and again it worked on 192.168.1.24 ....

Chek it out yourself!

are you resolving you RH box via DHCP? seems that it would put you down in the 192.168.2.1-9 range..... If so, are you running an unlimited lease in DHCP? Virtual server, if you forward port 80 to the DHCP assigned address, it should work. I have the same router and it has worked flawlessly... also check to see that you do not have any ip filter running..
