You said you can browse from 192.168.1.100-103 clients, right?

First, You can do a tcpdump or tethereal from one such client and find out how it works.

Can you reconfirm if name resoultion works from the internet? If yes, pls explain.

Here is the scoop and solution to all this... sorta

I was able to get it working by using port 8080. http://www.hingedmind.com:8080/

It appears that Charter does block ports. Even though they say they do not.


Here are the questions...

This site has a lot of links elsewhere on the site. Of course the links do not work because they are not port specific.

For instance the chat link does not work:

http://www.hingedmind.com/echat/public/index.html

However it will work if you use this:

http://www.hingedmind.com:8080/echat/public/index.html

1) Is there a way around this without having to go in and re-code every link?

2) I tried several other ports that would not work prior to 8080. Why? I attempted to use 8000, 6000, and 5000 and none worked. Why?


Thanks for all the input.

You could have user relative paths rather than absolute ones... just "../html/something/some.html" instead of "http://www.domain.com/html/something/some.html" ...

ok, now to the solution part...

I had similar problem sometime back... and i used find and grep to search in all files ending with ".html" and in them grep for "http://www.domain.com" and then replace it with "http://www.domain.com:8000" ..

i have done it and am sure it can be done, but i am sorry, i dont have the exact syntax with me now...
you can even write a perl to read from a series of file, find for lines containing string "http://www.domain.com" and then replace the string accordingly... a littel googling with easily accomplish this

Thanks anand.

So the short answer is, there really is no work-around. Changing the links is a have-to.

One of the issues I am faced with is that most of this site is in flash.

Any ideas on why other ports did not work?


Thanks

I would like to publish my webpage to let outside world take a look. Please really help this newBie.

I find this thread and I got similar problem like you, so I post my question here.

I using the probably the same Linksys router as DHCP/gateway and it assign IPs to local machines. I set maximum number of clients to be 8. So the range for the LAN is 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.107

Different from you is: you can assign a out of ranged static IP on your server,
I can not set a static IP for the Linux web server if I enable DHCP in the router. I need to "dhclient eth0" manually assign a IP for it.

On the Linksys router, I setup port forward for any requests coming in on port 80(http) and 53(DNS) to be directed to 192.168.1.107(my web server private IP)

Port Range Forward
Application Start End Protocol IP Address Enable
http 80 80 tcp/udp 192.168.1.107 x
dns 53 53 tcp/udp 192.168.1.107 x

If outside machines access my page(http://www.mysite.com), the registered domain points to my dynamic IP account (xxxx.dyndns.org). And the details of this account also set in the gateway router.


But outside still could not see my page, the error is:
ERROR
The requested URL cound not be retrieved
While trying to retrievce the URL http://xxxx.dyndns.org

The follow error was encountered:
connection failed
They system returned:
(111) connection refused


Please help my page can say helloWorld to others.
