You can have a look at my home setup at http://www.ewilts.org/dynamicdns.htm I use a Linksys router, zoneedit for my dynamic DNS, and zoneclient (also at sourceforge) to keep my zoneedit IP address updated. Once you've got the dynamic DNS stuff straighted out, you then need to tell your router/switch to forward the right ports. On the Linksys units, it's in the Advanced pages. Remember that your internal address is always static (say 192.168.0.2) so you'd have an entry like forward port 80 to 192.168.0.2. You can't have multiple web servers inside unless you've got a way to fail over the IP address or put them on different ports. Also remember to check for whatever local firewall rules you've got in place on the Linux system to make sure you're not blocking the ports. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
