Dear All, I have one centos box ( centos 4.0 ) which is connected to MSI wireless router....... And which is connected to my ISP MODEM. I incorporated wireless router so that I can use my laptop from any of my rooms. Now this Centos 4.0 box is my home server machine. The MSI Wireless Router has DHCP server enabled. Wireless router has provided each address to my machines basically internal IP address like 192.168.1.xx TO 192.168.1.xx. The wireless router has an external IP which can be reached at : http://84.255.28.48:8080. I configured DMZ settings in wireless router... Which basically is mapping my Centos Box internal IP ( 192.168.1.XX ) to public IP ( 84.255.28.48 ) Now the problem is the following: how will my centos machine listen to this public IP ? Do I have to set up firewall settings?> Ifconfig on centos gives me internal IP. I need to know what routing settings I need to do and where ? 1) I am not able to connect to my Centos Server BOX through Secure CRT 2) I am not able to connect to my Centos using FTP.
