Wraith112 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 My Apache Server is running on port 8080. I can connect to it locally with http://192.168.1.102:8080, but when I try to use my external IP http://76.178.xxx.xx:8080 it doesn't work. Which makes me think I have a firewall problem. I turned on Norton Internet Security, and I believe my router ports are forwarded properly. Why can't people connect to my computer with my external IP address?[attachment deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/35304-cant-connect-to-my-apache-server/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviewdr Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I think there is a built in firewall in that linksys.I had similar problems before. There is some firewall or something in that linksys control panel.-steve Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/35304-cant-connect-to-my-apache-server/#findComment-167134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewholway Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 This a problem with resolving local network addresses, try accessing your page thru a web proxy like http://www.hidemyass.com/I think if you want to access your site from your own network you need another virtual server for that purpose, but I think that causes problems in itself.p.s. try and find a proxy close to you physically! can be really slow. Carefull of the cache.Andy Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/35304-cant-connect-to-my-apache-server/#findComment-168939 Share on other sites More sharing options...
