Jim. Thanks for the reply. Thats the problem. The static Ip address is in the first two urls but the url flips to that of the router as soon as a booking request is made from the outside to the server behind the router. Any ideas how Apache being used with Windows XP can be structured to overcome this and retauin the static IP that you see in the early screens below? Is it a config problem; a router proble; or what?
Any help gratefully received. John T----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Walls" <k6ccc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

There is a router in between the club LAN and the Internet. There is a static IP address for the server. The first message from the Internet to the club that activates two introductory screens works fine and you will see an example with amended - for security reasons - IP addresses below. The first interaction from the customer, when booking details are sent to the server over Internet, causes the http IP address to change to that of the router after which the booking sequence falls over because the server can no longer be accesed over Internet.USING WEB ADDRESS First screen http://www.xxx. 2ndscreen http://www.xxx/cgi-bin 3rd screen where problem begins and router IP address is substituted http://192.168.0.2/cgi-bin/aiSure will cause a problem! You are using an address that can not EVER be accessed via the internet. Your 192.168... address is the NATed address on your LAN, and is in one of the private IP ranges that works fine on a local LAN, but not on the internet. For someone to access your server from the internet, they must specify (or follow a link to) a public IP address (the WAN side of your router), or a URL that can point to public IP address via DNS.-- 73 ------------------------------------- Jim Walls - K6CCC k6ccc@xxxxxxxxx Ofc: 818-548-4804 http://home.earthlink.net/~k6ccc AMSAT Member 32537 - WSWSS Member 395 --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
