68.68.202.34 is the dynamic IP address to my system given by my Cable company 192.168.254.225 is the IP address of my Linux web server To access my web server form my network I can use 192.168.254.225 and that works fine. but to access my web server from the outside you will have to use the dynamic IP address at the moment 68.68.202.34 given buy my cable company. My problem is that even know I have configured my router to pass port 80 to 192.168.254.225 it does not work. See below the config of my Router Private IP: 192.168.254.225 Private Port: 80 Type: TCP Public Port: 80 Here is more info on what I am trying to do: More info on that is here http://www.enom.com/help/faq_dynamicdns.asp Gruessle -- http://VMCLinks.com http://GuyScope.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
