Hi Gruessle, step by step testing is easiest by using 'telnet ip-address port', this even works with windows ;-)
start from within your local net 'telnet webservers-internal-address 80'. You should at least get a 'Connected' message. This confirms your web server is actually up. (Try testing to other known-to-work and known-to-not-work ports, you learn the different reactions) Now, if you try the same to your external address (the one on the outside of your router) with the port number you forward (ie. you forward port outside:8000 to internal-web-servers-address:80) you should get the same reaction if your forwarding is working ok. Trying the same from work and the internet should tell you what works and what not. Sincerely, Jan. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
