Thanks Ed, So is this why I can't access my server on my home network? Because I don't have the correct port enabled for that server? How would I go about enabling the correct port for that server? And how can I check to see which port I need to enable?
I'll also definitely take your advice on port 80 when I figure out how to do that. You can probably see I'm a networking newbie!

It's a Befsr41 router. I've got the Block WAN Request > enabled so I guess my home network is set up with a firewall. Even without that enabled, you're still firewalled. By default, the BEFSR41 (I've got the BEFSR81) disables all incoming traffic. You need to specifically enable incoming ports, one port (or range of ports) at a time and direct them at an internal address. You should remember to enable port 80 and direct it to a non-existent internal host. That disables any management from the outside. If you haven't done so, and left the default password alone, you're very vulnerable. .../Ed Ed Wilts Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
