Hi there,
I will be very brief as I just need some pointers as I seem to be going
round in circles (again).
Brief outline...
My setup has a router with a built in firewall. I have two PCs running
as servers. The windows(1) one allows access from outside of my network
but my apache(2) server does not. I am able to access them both from
within the network with no problems.
I'm pretty certain it is a port issue but don't know how to find out for
sure. I have turned off the firewall in the OS running apache(2) and it
is effectively "open". I have forwarded the ports to reflect where the
two PCs are in my network, on the router.
My question(s), (a) What other ports would apache use in general to
allow web access? (b) Is it a function I have not turned on in apache?
(c) Am I just missing something really obvious?
More info
PC1 running XP (windows based server)
PC2 running OpenSuse (apache 2.x based server)
Router with brouser based setup
Port 80 used by router but no problem for windows server
Sorry, to bother the group with this but I have been trying to sort this
for weeks now and just need some pointers.
Thanks,
