The basic problem is that when I try to access my http server, I receive
the following message:
Network error
Unable to request URL from host 63.101.116.77:80: Connection refused
The background is a little convoluted, so if I leave anything out, just
let me know and I'll be glad to supplement.
192.168.2.1 is my Linux box. It's running httpd on port 80. A netstat
-an | grep LISTEN | grep 80 reveals that http is listening to port 80.
This machine masquerades at 192.168.2.0, forwarding external requests to
192.168.1.10, which is a network card connected to a Cayman DSL
modem/router/firewall defined as 192.168.1.254. Querying the Cayman
reveals the following IP information:
IP Interfaces:
ENET (lan): ( up broadcast default rip-send v1 rip-receive v1 )
inet 192.168.1.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255
physical address 00.00.89.2a.e6.8a mtu 1500
PPP (vcc1): ( up point-to-point address-mapping )
inet 63.101.116.77 netmask 0.0.0.0 peer address 207.18.66.1
physical address 00.00.00.00.00.00 mtu 1500
I'm working on the assumption that 63.101.116.77 is the dynamic IP
address assigned by my ISP. On the Cayman, I've defined a "pinhole" as
follows:
Protocol: TCP
External Port: 80
Internal Port: 80
Internal IP Address: 192.168.2.1
According to the documentation, this should pass TCP requests for port
80 to the internal IP address of 192.168.2.1. Judging from the error
message, it appears to be working.
Internally, if I access http://192.168.2.1, everything works properly.
Apache serves up the webpages. However, when I access
http://63.101.116.77, I get the error message given above. Does anyone
have any idea as to why this connection is being refused? Do I need to
give some sort of ipchains command that will allow the request to pass
through to 192.168.2.1? If so, what would that be?
Again, if I need to provide more information, just say the word.
Thanks!
