You aren't going to believe this...why my server problems!

Post by jmonlive »

I first tried port forwarding only to not work apparently, but then I read about routers (including my RV Park landlord's dlb2100), use an internal web server for web admin :x , so itried appending :80 to router's internal ip :shock: It actually used the same port number that my port forwarding ip address listened on! :o I am exhilarated, because I now can move it to 81 and got it working on my internal LAN IP. So, now try http://12.207.42.203:81 and to test my two dynamic DNS subdomain url: http://satam3.dyndns-ip.com/ and www.satam3.dyndns-ip.com. :D :) 8)

http://12.207.42.203:81 still gives a timeout. And the other two links give "server can not be found" error directly. I don't know what you are doing, but perhaps get some help. Are you missing some essential steps in the configuration :( I'm sorry I can not help on this.

It turns out I made a :oops: stupid mistake of not adjusting port 80 to 81 on linux host firewall (I only adjusted router firewall! :lol: :oops: ). I also fixed my DNS by this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4kK-XeKuKU. So, i have satam3.dyndns.org:81 -> WAN IP 12.207.42.203:81 and I have satam3.dyndns-ip.com -> satam3.dyndns.org:81. So please try all three (case sensitive).

Nope, I now get timeouts on all three links. So something changed.
