Hi again, To rephrase the question! On Linux Centos 4.5 x86_64 or x86, apache
is listening on port 88 and is being tested working using telnet From another machine on the planet $telnet 142.179.116.168 88 Will give an empty screen, Type : GET <enter> Will get a complete html page dump The browsers on these machines or any
machine on the planet (megaproxy.com for example) will return time out, if I
use http://142.179.116.168:88 Any idea why is this happening? As per logical conclusion, if the ports
were blocked in any way (firewall or ISP) then the telnet will time out too..
but its not. So any help in this matter is highly
appreciated. From: Hatem [mailto: Hi, This is quite a puzzle to me; I hope someone can help me out CentOS 4.5 on a good AMD 64 machine with two interface cards
eth0 going to local network, and eth1 going out to the world My ISP blocks port 80! (no surprise) but not port 88 So, I’ve configured apache to run on port 88 listening
on all interfaces instead. And here are the things that you may need to know On local networks From any desktop client, http://192.168.30.30:88 Works
fine from local internet, tried to see if apache listening on the
other interface http://142.xx.xx.xx:88 is also
working fine. I can get the pages I want and everything looking smooth and
cool. On the internet side where the problem begins, Using www.megaproxy.com to check the address
came back timed out the address of course used the address for the eth1
(internet address) and port 88 got connection timeout. On one of my laptops, connected to the internet using
dial-up connection and closed local network connections (disabled) when I tried
to access apache got same result (connection timeout) Did a telnet to my apache box from the dialup connection
using telnet 142.x.x.x 88, got a blank screen, then typed GET
<enter> and got the correct page dumped on my screen from apache. So I guess apache is working on the internet interface, but
on that specific interface it got shrug, blocked somehow that the GET
isn’t sent properly by the browsers or is sent but got blocked somehow. For the record, all these tests were made and iptables is
turned off. If you can help with this matter please contact me to share
the my ip address with you and we can work together on it. After all , thanks a lot for the help in advance. |
