    Setting up a home web server

    Locked

    by mitli2008 · about 16 years, 10 months ago

    Hi,

    I have a Netgear DG834GT, a static IP address and a Windows 2003 SBS. I want to set up a small website so that I can upload data to my server from outside.

    I am not sure how to set up the DG834GT router to direct the request to that page.

    Any help/tips will be greatfully received!

    Thanks

      OK, a little short on info in your post but I think I can helkp you out.
      My assumption is that the static IP is your outward facing IP and the Netgear router has several either static or reserved IPs for internal use. set up PAT (Port Address Translation) to send all packets for ports 80 and 443 to your server. port 80 is http and port 443 is https. the specific directions are on pages 5-6 and 5-7 of your manual please tell TR if this was helpful.

        Sorry, yes, static IP is outbound facing given by my ISP. I also have a static ip within the network set up for the web server.

        Thanks for the pointer re PAT. Will dig out the manual (or download it!) and give it a shot tonight!

        port 80 huh

        ISP’s will block port 80, when they don’t want you to have a home server…..yet this too can be overcome
        I have a dynamic IP, no access to port 80 and a web site on my windows machine….
        I believe the IP I see when I ipconfig is
        192.168.0.99 seem familiar

      What are you useing for a server, say apache,,for windows 2.2
      Are you sure you have a statis IP, does your ISP allow home servers?????
      In the states ISP’s do not allow home servers without charging extra…….do you have a domain…..so the page can be found???

      I am full of questions ain’t I.

      peace
