Web Server

[Piotr Kirklewski]

Hi there.

I have my D-Box at home and Apache installed.
I'm trying to configure it as a web server.
The server has connection to the internet, it's connected to the ADSL router by Ethernet cable.
When I enter the public IP in the browser using another computer - it hits (goes to)the ADSL router. How can I bypas this problem ?

Cheers

The issue here is that your public IP address, which is assigned by your ISP, belongs to your router, which is your point of connection to the Internet.

To get this to work you would have to set up a rule in your ADSL router to tell it to pass any incoming port 80 traffic to your HP-UX server. I don't know if this can be done or not. It likely depends on how much functionality your ADSL router has.
