Hey everybody,

I guess I'm not the first one, but what to do when you're in a network behind a router?
I used Abyss before and it always worked perfectly good, but now I am behind a router. My machine with the server is the second computer in the network with the classical 10.0.0.2 address.
The actual ip-address is also known: 213.* and it is static.
What should i do to make it work?

C ya,

Toni

You are going to have to setup port fowarding on your router so when a person goes to your public IP 213.* it will go to your computer. You would have to foward port 80 to the IP 10.0.0.2. You might have something in your manual about port fowarding

Inside your LAN, each computer has an IP address which is only valid
inside your office/home. Your router has also an IP valid inside your
network. Usually, those local IP addresses are of the form 192.*.*.* or 10.*.*.* (where * is a number form 0 to 255.)
Your router has also a second IP address which is valid for the Internet
(We'll call it the WAN IP.) From the outside world, people cannot reach you
office computers directly. They can only see your router and it is your
router that acts as a relay between the outside world and your office LAN.
Let's go back now to your computer which has web server correctly setup on
it. If you want to access that server from inside your office, you must use
a the LAN IP of your computer. But if you want the outside world to reach
your web server, you should configure the router to act as a relay for when
accessed on some port (by default 80) and to forward the connection to your
computer on the web port. You should read the router's manual to know how to do that (this is called sometimes virtual serving.) In that case, people will be able to browse your server using
http://wanip where wanip stands for your router's WAN IP and if you have
registered a domain name pointing to that IP, you can tell them to use that
domain name.
