Check your firewall. Usually they default to "block all in" then have rules to make exceptions for ports 80, 22, 23 and so on. Your firewall may be blocking port 81. Also most consumer routers in use today have firewalls built in. Make sure the router's firewall isn't blocking port 81. Finally, I had a problem with a DSL modem supplied in connection with MSN. It also had a firewall which blocked just about everything incoming. Gene joe.w.byers@xxxxxxx wrote:
I am running apache 2.0 on a redhat linux 3.XX dell server. I have the webserver up and running and can access web pages from my local net but external access does not work. I get the connection was refused when trying to connect to IP address Port. I have a dynamic ip address and port 80 is blocked. I have set my dell true mobile wireless router to forward all http to my 192.168.2.X using port 81. I have enabled port 81 in my services file. I have set the apache httpd.conf to listen to port 80-81 and 8080. My router is forwarding requests because I have also enables telnet and can access my server from external locations. Any suggestions? Help is greatly appreciated and thank you before hand. Joe W.
