yea, it runs by default on port 10,000,

http://machine:10000 where machine could be the ip

you'll have to allow access to that port though in your iptables rules or something.... ill try it out and post back if it worked for me, be back in like 5 minutesl

yea it worked, i got in to webmin from my dads computer down the hall.

i just added a rule to my iptables to allow it:

iptable -A input -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

we have an internal LAN thing going on so i only allowed internal connections to the port. but the rule will be deleted when i post this reply.

Thank you so much, I'll be back with the results!

Webmin is now working correctly, but postfix is not. I have my modem set to forward connections on port 25, but my emails do not get through. My email account gives me failure, and it says the message timed out. Is there any options in postfix that could be set by default to not allow me to receive replies. My email format for replies is "root@<public ip address of modem>" Am I doing the replies wrong or is it a problem with postfix?

my other email account just gave me this:
----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 5.1.2 ... Host unknown (Name server:
<my public ip address of modem>: host not found)

Why does postfix not accept my email messages?

sendmail wouldnt accept mine and it was because it wasnt listening on the
correct ip address. Also, you may need an MX reccord in a DNS server somewhere, but maybe not. Are you sending to a domain name or
an IP address?

I also have the modem set to forward port 25 to my mail server. I can send emails to my other email accounts <such as yahoo and hotmail> but there are some people, that when I send an email to them, I get the following message from outlook express:
The message could not be sent because one of teh recipients was rejected by the server....Protocol: SMTP Server Response: '554 <(username)@yahoo.com>: Recipient address rejected: Relay access denied', Port 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 554, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

now, when I try to reply to my messages, I get this:
Message from yahoo.com.
Unable to deliver message to the following address(es).

<hotrodowner@(my_public_ip_address)>:
(my_public_ip_address) does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 554 <hotrodowner@(my_public_ip_address)>: Recipient address

Giving up on (my_public_ip_address).
