Netgear RP614 & apache/port 80

Modify · 12-09-2003, 02:39 PM

Have a netgear RP614, and apache installed on debian unstable/testing.

Set up the router for port forwarding on port 80 to my internal lan IP.

However, when i try

$ lynx http://wardogs.servegame.com

it comes back and says that the connection was refused.

I checked at grc.com/ShieldsUP!, and it said that port 80 was open.

Am I missing something in apache?

Your router probably doesn;t have loopback natting. Add a hosts entry to your local machines to point that domain to the local IP. To check externaly use a web proxy like guardster.

192.168.0.3 wardogs servegame.com
