xan Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I don't know if this is in the right area exactly but it concerns my Network.I am trying to host myself and I am using the No-IP service (No - IP Page) to point to my dynamic address. Now my address is xanspc.no-ip.info which points to the IP descovered by the DUC software supplied by No-IP.I soon realised that because I am behind a firewalled router (NETGEAR DG834) I need to set up a Demilitarized Zone or DMZ which there is a setting in the admin control panel to do so. I have set it to 192.168.0.13 which is the IP designated to my PC (no other PC in the building can have that IP address except this one). Which should be allowing HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and SMTP to be accessed by the internet.I am running Windows XP with Apache 2.summut PHP 4.3.4 and some FTP thingy that isn't important right now. No Firewall is enabled on this machine and the Firewall rules have been changed to allow all appropriate incomming traffic to the hosting machine.The Problem: Whenever I type in the address (http://xanspc.no-ip.info) once the DUC has updated I still cannot see my site, It should be seen as all the computers on the network can see it by typing 192.168.0.13 but no-one else can see it by typing the no-ip address. If I change the no-ip address to 192.168.0.13 everyone on the network can use that address but no-one outside of the network can.Please could somebody help me?ThankzXan "Nautilus" Manning.

Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Perhaps your ISP block port 80? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xan Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 It works when I use a plain ADSL modem, I managed to make it so I was sharing files via FTP between me and some friends and occasionally I used port 80 to tell them to go to port 21.

xan Posted July 24, 2004 Author Share Posted July 24, 2004 I have managed to get it to point to the remote management of the router even though I have turned it off!!! There is a small 2 mins when I can access my site on my PC before remote management kicks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkPhoenix Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 I just tried the xanspc.no-ip.info address, and got to some "Attention: You have just entered the Demilitarized zone on line 13" or something like that, and then there was a link to some board. Not sure if I was just lucky, or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
