Hello,
I have set up a web server on a computer in my home network. I am able to access the web server by going to http://localhost or from any other computer on my network by using the local ip of the server. I also want to be able to access the server from computers outside of my home network so I have taken the following steps:
1)set the computer to use a static IP and bound that ip to the MAC in the router settings
2)Forward port 80 to the server in my Linksys WRT300N router
3)Signed up for and configured a DYNDNS.org account. (Updated by my router)
After performing those steps, I can access my server from internal computers by using my external ip (from whatismyip.com) although I still cannot access the server externally. I get a connection timed out error. I have disabled all software firewalls on the server.
I am pretty sure I have performed all the required steps, yet this still doesn’t seem to work… Any ideas?
Thank you!
