Hello I am actually a user of Xubuntu Linux, but as it is based on Debian, and here may be more people that are wise on servers, I come to ask you for help.
I have 2 computers: one with Xubuntu and the other with Windows XP. The Xubuntu machine is connected to the router Thomson Speedtouch 530v6 by ethernet card, and the Windows machine by USB. I bought a static IP to my connection provider. I had my Xubuntu machine with DHCP. As my isp gave me a static ip, I used ifconfig to get the ip, gateway and subnet mask values, and typed in the graphical UI as explained in: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-net...ical-tool.html (This is my first doubt. Why I used an ip assigned by the router (192.168.0.129) instead of the static ip that my isp gave me (starting in 85.)????) All was fine, I do ping and can navigate. Then, I forward ports 80 and 443 to Apache, and asigned it to my Xubuntu PC as shown in: http://www.portforward.com/english/r...0v6/Apache.htm So... now what? I can't visit my server from the othe computer. When I type my static ip (85.etc), I go to the router page, not the server. Why? What must I do now????? In my router page I see an option, maybe I must activate, but fear doing something wrong. It says: " Assign the public IP address of a connection to a device" And if you clic it, it says: ----- "Assign the public IP address of a connection to a LAN device This page allows you to assign the public IP address of your Internet Connection(s) to a specific device on your local network... You might want to do this if: * You encounter issues with some applications through the Network Address Translation engine of your SpeedTouch. * This device is running server applications (web server, ...) and you want it to be accessible from the internet. * This device has to be considered as the unique entry to your local network (DMZ).
