Smoothie & IIS Web Server

[cHaRlLoS]

Hi.

I'm trying to host a web server(IIS) on my machine which runs through Smoothie. I've created a basic page and published it with MS Frontpage to my local ip 192.168.0.119. All machines on the network can access my site with the use of the above ip.

My ppp0 setup:
ppp0 Link encapoint-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:66.18.86.193 P-t-P:66.18.87.52 Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1460 Metric:1
RX packets:320625 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:321048 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:3

With this all I need to do is enter http://66.18.86.193 into IE and it should display my page??

I've enabled port forwarding on my smoothie and from my log files it seems like if I enter the above ip it's getting rerouted to my local ip, but still nothing is being displayed.

ANy ideas?

Thanx

I get a counter graphic when I browse through to http://66.18.86.193. Is this what was intended?

YEah thats it. I've linked the IP to http://smitties.no-ip.org (Damn Dynamic IPs!)

Why aren't I able to browse this page from within my network using my ppp0 IP? If I use the 192.168.0.119 on the local network pcs I can browse.

Thanx

Here's a link from the Smoothwall forum...

Has to do with spoofing

It's to do with routing and how Linux handles NAT.

When you try to connect to your routers own outside IP you never actualy connect on the interface that is doing the NAT/PAT because you already have a route within your network to the IP, so from your machine its accessing the routers IP on its ethernet port and not on its WAN port where the address translation is taking place.

Thanx Guys.

My Smoothie is running in my mothers room(Only place I can get signal) so I'll have to test it it bit later. Logic and simple if you understand Linux a bit beter than the avg. Joe.
