Hi, I use mac mini and trying to convert it as web server. I registered a domain name via http://dyndns.org - http://tapncooksammy.dyndns.org. When i try to access the same from local network - it works fine. However, when i try to access the same from 3G, or other computer that resides in some other network, I am unable to access the same. My primary problem is, I am unable to ping to 58.182.181.232 (supposedly my external ip as displayed in http://dyndns.org while registering) from external network (able to ping via local network). PING 58.182.181.232 (58.182.181.232): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 58.182.181.232: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=3.305 ms 64 bytes from 58.182.181.232: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=3.394 ms 64 bytes from 58.182.181.232: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=3.137 ms nslookup http://tapncooksammy.dyndns.org Server: 216.146.35.35 Address: 216.146.35.35#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: http://tapncooksammy.dyndns.org Address: 58.182.181.232 I use link sys E2000 cisco wireless router. I have set the DNS1 as 58.182.181.232 and my internet ip shows the same address. http://whatismyip.com also shows the same ip address - 58.182.181.232. I tried using the dns updater and also the ddns option in linksys. Both are working without any issues. Status message in dns update - OK - 58.182.181.232 Status message from DDNS linksys - Internet IP Address: 58.182.181.232 Status: DDNS is updated successfully However, i am neither able to ping 58.182.181.232 from an external pc nor I am able to access http://tapncooksammy.dyndns.org from external pc. Your help is much appreciated. Many Thanks, Lakshmi V |

It sounds like either you haven't configured port forwarding, as pgmr suggested, or you have and your ISP blocks port 80. This sticky covers that, and more.
That usually means that your ISP blocks port 80. Nothing there shows that it works from a different computer. However, have you checked with your ISP to see if they block port |

You will have to forward port 80 to the internal IP address of you server(mac mini). This can be found inside your router's settings page. Check: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Cisco/Linksys-E2000/Linksys-E2000index.htm this is a guide on how to forward ports for your router. Good luck |

HI - Thanks a ton for the response. Yep I have set up the port-forwarding. 21 for FTP and port 80 for HTTP, setup with the internal ip address. The httpd.conf reflects the listen value as 80. Even then the forwarding is not happening and I am getting "504" error while accessing from external network. I will check with my local ISP whether they block port 80 and keep you posted. Thanks a lot. |

@Cry Havoc - Brilliant !! Thanks a lot.. I reset the Apache port to 55321 and Apache Port forwarding to 55321 & accessed the web server with apache port number and it worked !!!! Thank you ! I can confirm that it is visible outside of your network. Glad it's all working now.

I was told by my ISP not to use ports 80 or 88. I switched the port to 55321, updated httpd.conf and tried again - no luck. I also tried switching off the firewall to see if it's restricting. Steps -
Unable to ping public / external ip from external network. I also tried MAMP and all that. Am I missing something here? Thanks...
