Is it any missconfiguration on the router? take a look at this: ---- root@mail:~# nmap -sT -p 8080 10.73.219.156 Starting nmap 3.48 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2004-05-18 11:06 VET Interesting ports on mail.aeropostal.com.ve (10.73.219.156): PORT STATE SERVICE 8080/tcp filtered http-proxy ---- the webserver in server 2 is working perfectly but im not able to reach it from server one, look at this in server 2, maybe im doing something wrong [root@linserv root]# route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 10.73.216.0 * 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 Thanx a lot for this great help Juan
