Hello, I have a problem accessing the weblet page after I have changed the internal ip numbers to a public address. I am using Bering Stable 1.2 with two interfaces eg ppp0 and eth0. Both are using public ip numbers. I am not able to access the firewall web page. I doubled checked all my settings including all the settings in Shorewall. Everything else works fine. I even built another system as a test. And still, I am unable to get access to the web page. I then decided to build another system and use the distro as it comes from the floppy image. The only changes I made was the external ip number and added a driver for my network card. I am using eth0 and eth1 and NAT. Eg public ip on eth0 and private on eth1. All works fine. So the only conclusion that I can come to is that there is something still referring to the private address range in the original system. I have had a poke around and can not find anything that I feel would cause this.
So what else should I be checking? Any other ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.
There are at least two things to check: the tcpwrapper configuration files (/etc/hosts.allow & /etc/hosts.deny), and the sh-httpd configuration file (/etc/sh-httpd.conf). Both of these can prohibit access to weblet based on source IP.
A useful trick for finding these files is to grep for the old IP range in /etc:
grep 192.168.0 /etc/*
