 Posted: Sat Apr 16, 2005 6:15 am Post subject: I want to be an abyss success story |
 |
|
For the past week I have tried to start from knowing nothing about web servers to getting a web server and pages set up and working on my old HP win98 computer. Though abyss has been a huge jump for me in actually getting a server working on my computer it means nothing if no one can access my computer to use the server and see my pages. The latter is where I am stuck.
Here is what I have done so far.
I have learned the basics of HTML and have set up some basic page on notepad. I saved that as index.html in abysswebserver/htdocs.
next
Downloaded abyss x1, The abyss server is running and i can open the console to see port 80 is running.
next
I tried to configure my router to allow http port 80 on 198.168.0.1 and my computer has no firewall so that should be set?
next
When i open a browser I type in the ip address of my computer shown to me by no-ip.com i type in browser http://68.78.221.249 I get a message saying connect timed out. http://68.78.221.249:80/index.html gives me same message.
Right now I am stuck. I dont know what else to do at this point. Does anyone have any suggestions so i can access that little html index page i made to test my server setup? Once i see everything works i will then make more and better webpages. Thanks again, many of you have been a great help before. |

No-IP will show proxy or firewalled addresses. You need to find out the REAL IP using windows, or going through your routers console.
In Windows:
Start, Run, type 'command' and press enter, a command prompt should open. Now type 'ipconfig' or if that doesnt work 'winipconfig'.
Look for the one that says IP address. This is either your internet IP or your LAN IP. If it is 192.168.x.x then its a LAN IP, if its some other number, its your WAN or Internet IP Address.
If its LAN IP, go into your routers console (if you know how) and look for a status page which should have loads of IP Addresses on it, look for the 'WAN IP Address' and that is your true Internet IP Address.
Remember to allow port forwarding to your LAN IP if you havent already
Hope this info helps, if you have problems, post them and we can see what we can you for ya :P

When you are fowarding your ip address is the 10.0.0.1 one or 10.0.0.2 it's start>run>cmd>ipconfig to see what it is. What router are you using?
Am I repeating from above sorry lol

Most routers use the 192.168.x.x address but you can also change this on most routers too. Its normally the default.

Ok i looked at my router for the LAN ip and it is 192.168.0.2 so i entered that into the port forwarding for http port 80. Then i went on web to what is my ip.com and got my wan ip.
Then i typed in a browser http://68.248.142.36:80 and i get a message saying the connection was refused. :( That is using firefox
When i use IE i get the page cannot be displayed page. This is using computers in my network. |

If you are using a fairly modern router, then you will need to find out your computers internal IP, set up port forwarding from port 80 to (your internal IP):80
And then youll need to test this, remember, typing in your external IP from inside your network will only be "refused" or bring up your router.
You should ask someone to test it for you from outisde your network.

| Try another port to check that your ISP isn't blocking port 80. |

Sadly; trying to use port 81 doesnt work either. I have no clue what is wrong, or what I need to do at this point. If there is anyone willing to help me via email to resolve why i cannot access my server computer from the outside please write warspite88@yahoo.com
I use yahoo dsl $26 package, dynamic ip, (signed up for no-ip.com)
a netgear 614 router that works
good dsl modem
hp 433mhz/96ram win98 computer
No firewall (that i know of)
The abyss server is running on the computer, i just cant access the server pages from other computers.
I really want to get my own server running and then write an abyss testmonial. I am sure i am doing something wrong. If there is anyone who has time and wants to help walk me through things maybe i can get this to work. Thanks |

My router book says this.
For any windows computer, if you are using the recommended default TCP/IP settings they should be: IP ADDRESS 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254
----------------------------subnet mask 255.255.255.0
----------------------------default gateway 192.168.0.1
I dont know what all of those mean really but when i log onto my router admin my port forwarding is using the ip address 192.168.0.2 and port 80. I tried using .0.1 but it doesnt work either. |

Try forwarding the .254 address. Also try setting it as a DMZ host.

IT WORKS!!
I had to disconnect my router to get it to work but at least now I narrowed the problem down to my router config :)
Now i just have to figure out how to get the server to work with the router and also do something with no-ip.com so that it wont matter that i have a dynamic ip.
Thanks again for everyones help thus far. |
