dual boot server.

[gloomer]

Ok my public IP address says Unable to connect. My friend is also unable to connect.

I guess my ISP blocks this. How do I get around that?

I tried to ping badaboomftp.serverftp.com but it says could not find the host.

As for the router I am using a DI-604.

As for No-ip, I'm using their software to update my ip.

What should I do from here?

You guys are the best

There should be a way to configure your server to listen on a diferent port. Try 8080(usually for https) or 591(http-alternate). Then have your friend type your ip and the port you used like this "xx.xx.xx.xxort".

If this works you'll have to see if no-ip will forward traffic to this port. I think they will but Im not sure.

Just a little tip, your router web management is configured to work on port 80. This interfere with your web server, change the router's web management to another port or change the web server (if using apache2) httpd.conf file to use a different port like 8000 or 8080 and port forward these. But your buddy has to append the port every time he needs to connect. www.yoursite.com:8000 or :8080

Good point. This completely slipped my mind. I think a few will pass port 80 if remote management is disabled. You just need to make sure the port is forwarded. Also, I believe, not positive, that no-ip can forward www.domain.com to xx.xx.xx.xx: port . So appending the port may not be required. Although, as Law said, I would go the route of changing the routers access port as needed.

Edit: typos

Guess what. It's working. I can access the site from the external and internal ip.

The only thing that isn't working, is that No-ip isn't doing it's job!

They were supposed to forward the domain badaboomftp.serverftp.com to my external ip. They didn't, and it doesn't work.

I forwarded port 80 now though and the server works. The no-ip domain thing is the only problem.

Try "badaboomftp.serveftp.com" instead of "badaboomftp.serverftp.com" I believe you're adding an "r" in that shouldn't be there.

Oh lol!! you are right. It's serve.

This is the stupidest mistake i've probably ever made..


You know what's strange though.

It works in firefox. But it doens't work in internet explorer.

My external ip doesn't work in internet explorer either.

But it both works in firefox.

You know what? http://localhost doesn't work either!!

The only thing that does work in internet explorer is http://127.0.0.1:9999/

And that's used to access the abyss server.

Any ideas what now?

That would just issues w/ the page code.

Actually this is what it says.. I currently have nothing on the server. Just a blank empty index file.

This is what i get in IE

Hmm strange. Try putting a generic "hello world" page or at least just put in the opening and closing "html" tags and see what happens. IE might not like the completely empty file.
