This might not be the right place to ask this but I'm getting desperate.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have a system that I use at home as a server, and it has a singe local workstation that runs off it occassionally.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have recently discovered (though it may have always been this way)that my server will not respond to any remote requests (ie. telnet, http, ping) unless the workstation is also on.&nbsp;&nbsp;Why does my server not work properly unless a local computer is on as well?<br>BTW, the system is running RedHat 6.2 on an i586. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Just to clarify my situation:<br>The server has two ethernet cards, one which connects it to my cable modem, and the other which connects it to the local workstation.&nbsp;&nbsp;The workstation is ipmasq-ed and I believe that it is behind a firewall. This could just be a simple problem with my httpd conf, as I am relatively new to Unix-stlye computing and am apt to make even the most obvious errors.<br>Any and all suggestions are welcome. <p>liquidgrey<br><a href=mailto:webmaster@liquidgrey.com>webmaster@liquidgrey.com</a><br><a href= Liquidgrey and the greycloak</a><br>lead blood being spilled by weapons of flesh...<br>
we have to retaliate.
 
okay, nevermind.<br>It was a problem with my ISP, and now it has been remedied.<br>thanks.<br> <p>liquidgrey<br><a href=mailto:webmaster@liquidgrey.com>webmaster@liquidgrey.com</a><br><a href= Liquidgrey and the greycloak</a><br>
