Odd situation...

CiscoKid · Post by **CiscoKid** » Sat Oct 06, 2012 9:05 pm

I have a server running apache on centos 6 with Comcast business class internet. I can access the sever fine using the domain within the network, but when I have others try to ping it from the outside, it fails to respond. I've checked and rechecked everything I could think of...apach config, DNS config, signal levels, firewall rules, and cables. It fails outside the network when going in through domain and ip both...MorbidPete can attest to the issues, I'm just wondering if I'm missing something

Have you done the port forwarding on the router?

I wouldn't be banging on my head into the wall if the problem was that simple!

Do you have your own router set on one of the static IPs from your Comcast block?
Or are you running all your network behind the default 10.1.10.xxx of the SMC gateway?

It's hard to see, from here, what your setup is..and what troubleshooting steps you've taken.

The server is directly connected to the SMC with all required ports forwarded, the server has both one of my static 50.73.54.xxx IP's and an internal 192.168.1.xxx IP for internal services

Is the WAN IP for the server the the same as the default public IP of the SMC? Or are you mapping one of the additional static IP addresses that Comcast gave you in your IP block to the server?

You reconfigured the LAN side of the SMC to 192.168.1.xxx? There is no additional router in the way?

I'm mapping one of the additional IP's Comcast gave me. I do have a wireless AP, but the server is connected directly. This config was working fine before but I got a new SMC and ever since I'd had this issue. I reconfigured the LAN side to 192.168.1.xxx due to other issues I was having

In the SMC web admin, firewall section....there's a checkbox labeled something like "Disable firewall for true static IP subnet" or something like that...did you put a check in that?

How does your server have both one of the statics from the public block and an internal private one? She multi-homed?

Disable firewall for true static IP subnet is checked. Right now, I have the server doing double duty with virtual interfaces as both a SAMBA file/print server, intranet, and internet web services

If that server goes to http://www.whatismyip.com does the correct public IP you're trying to get it on show up?

I think you should try port forwarding.
