Port Forwarding does NOT work!


Hey guys,
I have an MN-500 and I tried to set up port forwarding.

Basically I have a server set up in Apache and it works fine if I try to visit my server's IP (192.168.2.15).. obviously if you visit it (for example), you wouldn't be able to see it becuase its a local IP.

So I went to my basestation page (192.168.2.1) and configured it for Port Forwarding. Basically I said.. anything that tries to access my public IP on port 80 is automatically forwarded via TCP to 192.168.2.15 on port 80.

However, when I (on my network) try to visit it(public IP), it works fine. But when someone ELSE tries to visit it, it says page not found. Any thoughts?

I would check the firewall rules on your apache server box. Does it allow connections from computers from destinations out of your LAN?

I actually doubt that I even have a firewall.. I just simply installed Apache

Resolved the issue - my ISP does NOT accept incoming connections from port 80. So I simply used port 8080
