well make sure apache is first installed correctly and loads up just fine.. Try doing an apache -S to make sure it loads fine secondly theres 2 things needing to be done first need to forward the port iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d externalip -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to webserverip:80 and also make sure the port you want is opened in your FORWARD as well iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT will prob have to change around those cmds a lil bit to suit your needs, but hopefully that gets you on the right track. -paul --- Eric Marchionni <mailing-lists@xxxxxx> wrote: > hi list > > my buddie is trying to get his webserver working > behind his > debian router. > this is what i gave him (we tried once with --dport > and once with > --dports): > > iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $WAN_IFACE -p tcp > -m multiport > --dports 22,80 -j DNAT --to-destination $SERVER > > i'm not able to connect to his webserver with > http://his_ip/ > what am i doing false? got any ideas? > > thanx > eric > > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
