ADSL Web Server

[wernerhp]

Hi

I'm trying to configure my PC as a web server. I've managed to get everything working on my LAN, but now my problem comes in with directing external traffic to my server PC. hmm... ok, so I read that I have to forward it to port 80 (http) etc. but I don't know how to configure it on my router. I have a Marconi/Telkom ADSL WiFi Router.

Oh and yeh...I get the following error...

403 Forbidden
Forbidden
You were denied access because:
Access denied by access control list.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated! c",)

Have a look at www.portforward.com to forward TCP port 80 from external IP to internal IP. Will be under "Virtual server" or NAT.

You also need a DDNS service to keep track of your dynamic IP address. Something like www.no-ip.com

thnx

thanks for the advice. it seems my isp might be blocking ports and www.no-ip.com solved the problem. also i've discovered that i can't access the site from my local pc using the external ip as it won't get routed back properly, so i had a friend test it for me and it appears to be working now.
