Unreachable network from wan

[one.1more]

Hello,
I need a simple http network. so, i tried techlogica http server, and
also KF web server one by one. After i installed it, the set the port
number in the softwares to 80. In my router i added TCP port
forwarding with the following config: private ip: 192.168.0.3 my
computers ip address, publicport:80, private port 80. if i try http://127.0.0.1
it works. if i try http://192.168.0.3 from any of the lan computers it
works. but when i try http://72.76.xx.xx, it doesnt work i get a
connection timed out error. I triied changing the private port to
60000 both in router and it the server software. then also, samething
happens. http://127.0.0.1:60000 and http://192.168.0.3:60000 work but
http://72.76.xx.xx:60000 does not work(connection timed out). I have
both cable and dsl. i tried with both of them, but neither works. what
else do i need to do?

First put your webserver in a DMZ(no firewall) and try it. The router will
send all requests to your computer. It seems like either you got your
external IP wrong, the router is not letting it pass, or the windows
firewall is only allows local ip's to pass(disable windows firewall
temporarily).

I have the router di-624.I tried DMZ and i got my ip from ip-
address.com(its the same) and i disabled the firewall. i still get
connection timed out. i tried no-ip.com and i get the same error as
well.

sitting on your network and using your router's remote ip(which I
assume is your 72.76.xx.xx ip), never works!

but somebody else will be able to use it. could ask on [m]irc


i.e. what I mean is
if you have a computer acting as a web server , then when on your
network, you access it with your comp's ip (a private ip from your
router). Anybody outside your network uses your router's public ip.

I don't know why that is. It's never been a problem (since test it by
asking others). But maybe there's a setting in windows to let you
access your comp like that.. anyone?

I think i know what i've done in the past to test the web server
runs.
a)Gone to a port scan site and seen if it found port 80 or 6120 or
whatever web server port open (you may want to set the firewall to
restrict all ips except web scan site)

So i've never had to find somebody else to try the public ip. I know
it works.


OR.. maybe you can try it from your own comp,

b)I may have tried setting up a dial up connection it seems to get a
"prioritised" route in the routing table over my DSL one. And my
comp's ip becomes the dialup one. Then I think I could ping my comp
by my router's public ip. So maybe I could scan it with nmap or access
the web server..
