Hi All,

Well I'm in the process of setting up my own website, I have purchased a domain (www.danricketts.net) but now wish to host photo's, and only having 30Mb of webspace and around 1Gb of photo's this presents a problem. I was hoping to put the bulk of my pages up on the domain, and then link back to the photo galleries hosted form my machine, problem beig I have no idea how to go about this. Firstly the machine will be behind a router (Netgear RP614v2), and I'm not sure how to configure this, any ideas? Secondly I am unsure of how to link from the page on the 'net to the pages on my local machine. ANy tips/pointers/tutorials anyone could offer would be great!

Many thanks

Dan Ricketts

To access the server from the outside, people should use your router's WAN
IP (or external IP). It is the IP assigned to it by your ISP. This WAN IP
can be known by browsing http://www.aprelium.com/ip from your computer. If
you have a router, you must configure it to forward incoming requests to the
web port to your computer so that Abyss Web Server can respond to them.

If your WAN IP changes often, You'll need to use the services of a free DNS
provider that can track those IP changes and give you a DNS name. We suggest
looking at http://www.dyndns.org or at
http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Internet/Servers/Address_Management/Dynamic_DNS_Services/?tc=1 .
This way, you'll always access your server using an address like
http://www.yourserver.freednsprovider.com without paying attention to IP
changes.

If you have problems to make your server reachable from the outside, we
recommend reading http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/faq.html#A1-2 .
