Need Help Please :(

[Chmex21]

Hello Everyone,

I have just recently installed a Linksys DSL Router. I have it hooked into a switch and my internal network has all static IPs. Everything is working fine excpet for my web server. My e-mail server is working great, but my web server is giving a 500 error or a 404 error. I opened the port 80 and 53 on the router but no success. I am running a NT 4.0 Web Server SP6. I have the DNS server running on the same machine but still no success. What am i doing wrong, can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong. Should the DNS server have the IP of the DSL line or the internal network static IPs? Any help would be great.

Thanks in advace.

The DNS server should have ip addresses for all internal machines as well as the external network ip. Just make sure that it does both reverse and forward resolution. Also make sure that all port forwards are correct as well. Internal Server Errors 500 are usually script errors. Or if something in the server is not being configured correctly, and the 404 not found means that the page isn't found. Are you getting a dns doesn't resolve or 404 not found, they are different errors. Check your webserver setup. If you are using IIS check the permissions as well. Check to make sure that the machine is setup to allow anonymous login. Other than that Microsoft IIS and Microsoft DNS are fairly easy to use. You should also check your router to make sure that traffic to and from the webserver is being allowed through as I said with port forwards as well. Make sure that the DNS on port 53 is being forwarded internally to the internal machine that is handling the DNS. If you use the 192.168.0.x, you could set the Router as .1 and forward everything to the server on .2 This is only by example but you should be able to get the idea. John D. Saucier

What kind of email server are you running? Exchange 2000?
