|
|
Hi, I have a computer running Ubuntu 8.04, and I have it all set up, but for some reason, I can't access it remotely. I know my public IP and I used it to create a free host at dyndns.com, it had worked before, but all of the sudden my server was acting funny.
I have Comcast Cable internet and I am connected via Ethernet cable directly into our modem, Netgear model CG814WGv2. I have forwarded ports:
80 TCP 192.168.0.99 (My server's local IP that I set myself and have confirmed with "ifconfig")
21 BOTH 192.168.0.99
22 TCP 192.168.0.99
9686 BOTH 192.168.0.99
9999 BOTH 192.168.0.99
I have a static IP for my server. What is wrong? I can access the server from within my network but my friend cannot access it from his home... Here, please try it for me or provide me with some tips: http://www.nikolaireznov ,ath.cx (btw, ignore the content, it is just an experimental site) I can find any additional information you may need.

Ubuntu isn't the best linux distro (in general) but i understand you used it since you are new to Linux.
Now, there are most likely no firewall ups...
How do you portforward with a modem?

Comcrap blocks port 80 if you don't get the "business" package or whatever IIRC.

| Yeah, some cable companies have two tiers. You can always do it from another port, right?

Thanks for the help guys, but the problem was that earlier I set up a static IP, well the vi editor is kinda hard to control for a newbie, so some how, it changed from DHCP, but didn't save the other changes that I made to the network/interfaces file.
So when I tried "/etc/init.d/networking restart" it said "Could not bring up eth0 Not all variables found" Or something similar to that. So I changed the permission of the network/interfaces and edited it with WinSCP, I set all the values. So the direct problem was, it literally didn't have the information to connect to the internet.
