My Windows 2000 Server won't broadcast outside of the network

[Jrb599]

I've tested my my router and have port fowarding set up correctly, I know i have some problem set up with my Windows 2000 server wrong

When I connect to it outside of the router, I can't get in, but when I connect within the network, no problem. Any suggestions on a setting they might be wrong

69.134.148.31 is the ip address.

Also my internet provider blocks no ports

What specifically are you trying to do?

I'm trying to run a website so people can view it.

 

[Davetoo]

You've forwarded port 80 from the Internet to your server?

Yes, I did port fowarding. And the box is set to a static ip of 192.168.1.102

So from inside your network you can go to

http://192.168.1.102

and get the site. From the outside you should be able to replace 192.168.1.102 with your external IP (the one on your cable/DSL router) and the traffic will be forwarded to the server.

If it doesn't work, then there's four main possible issues:

1. You don't have the right IP address.
2. Your port forwarding isn't set up correctly.
3. Your ISP does block ports after all.
4. Your web server does not have the correct IP address configured for its default gateway. It should be the internal IP of the router.

1. You don't have the right IP address.
I checked it from

2. Your port forwarding isn't set up correctly.
Could be true, check for yourself

3. Your ISP does block ports after all.
No it doesn't, my neighbor has a server next door
4. Your web server does not have the correct IP address configured for its default gateway. It should be the internal IP of the router.

This I believe I have set up right.

I changed my config a bit to where the router assigns the ip to the computer instead of the computer assigning to the ip itself, I still can't get in.

 

[Jrb599]

I think it may be 4 actually cause whenever I connect to my ip from a computer in the network it takes me to the router login not the site

 

[Jrb599]

Ok I took the router off and plugged the modem directly into my server and still couldn't get the page to load with the IP

 

[Jrb599]

One other thing, when I plugged it into the modem I got a different ip address than when it is plugged into the router.
one was
69.134.148.31
the other was
65.134.156.23

 

[kmcferrin]

It's normal that you get the router login page when accessing your external IP address from inside your network. It's because your router assumes that you wanted to manage the router, not access an internal web server.

When you try to connect to the web server using the configuration you described at the beginning of this thread, what do you get?

 

[Jrb599]

In the network I got the webpage

Out of the network I got a unable to connect.

 

[Jrb599]

Someone said it might be the windows 2000 firewall, how do I turn off/configure it?

 

[Davetoo]

There is no firewall with Windows 2000 unless you installed a 3rd party one.

Rahh, then I don't know why this isn't working. There has to be something wrong, any other ideas?
