It can be done if you forward your ports from a firewall to the internal IP. I do this with www.nrs-corps.com. The only port open is 80, and it forwards to my 192.168 address.
What type of firewall are you using? If it's a netwolves, I am the netwolves pro and I can help you. Otherwise what you need to do is allow a redirect of port 80 to the internal address. Then you need to allow the port 80 traffic to forward to the internal address. But like I said this is with my netwolves. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Staley Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 5:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Need Help!
