Apache web server behind Linksys wireless router

Vernon Brown_4 — Sat, 02 Jul 2005 16:52:32 GMT

I have an HP Pavilion 7965 running Fedora (3) with Apache 2 web server. Internet access is through the eth port #1 of a Linksys wireless router to a Cable modem.

How do I make the web server visible from the internet?

I know the IP. I can get to the Linksys config pages but have not found a place to set it up to pass the IP through to the server.

Find your cable-modem router, set up the port forwarding as per those instructions for external-access to TCP port 80, to go to port 80 on your laptop.

That should be all that's required.

This works. Thanks, Vernon Brown. I've been trying for a while, never aware of port forwarding. It's really simple. Thanks again.

Two years ago we were working this problem. I'm glad to see that someone is still gaining insight from it !!
