And, as I mentioned, everything works when I forward the port to a Windows box. Is there any way/log file that I could look at which would tell me if the linux box sees anything coming from the router??? -bruce bedouglas@earthlink.net -----Original Message----- From: psyche-list-admin@redhat.com [mailto:psyche-list-admin@redhat.com]On Behalf Of Michael Schwendt Sent: Saturday, January 18, 2003 12:27 PM To: psyche-list@redhat.com Subject: Re: linux security/network issue.... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Sat, 18 Jan 2003 11:30:00 -0800, Bruce Douglas wrote: > PS.

Show us more about your Linux box's network configuration, in particular the output of "netstat -nr" and "ifconfig -a". A common problem is a missing default route, so reply packets don't make it back to the router. > I'm able to look at the linux Apache server from other boxes within > my network, provided I use the internal (192.XX) address. However, you added that the Linux box doesn't see any redirected traffic on port 80 at all. Hence I wonder whether your router is configured correctly. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+Kbh40iMVcrivHFQRAg05AJ4xccevWbrGSQBANFV2ESDCGXc2qgCfXWWW kzxYSmFyNmX/8chEfUXwCRQ= =hGbQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
