Settings on Windows 2000 Server

Post #39,465 by orion 5/21/02 11:53:50 PM Reply	Settings on Windows 2000 Server Show No IPSEC and no filtering for TCP/IP. So port 80 should not be blocked by the server. I had Black Ice on it, but removed it because I thought it might be blocking the server. I set the range of addresses to pass for port 80 to the known Internet (1.1.1.1 to 254.254.254.254) and still no connection. *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*

This makes me wonder if the reply might be getting dropped on the way out. Have you looked for a log from your Web service? Does it show any activity? You should see my connection attempt from IP 132.10.250.4 among others. On your incoming packet filter, you may want to block the Class A-E network and loopback addresses. These are addresses that shouldn't be used on the internet, if they are, it's for spoofing poorly networked computers. See [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=36713\|this message] for more info on these reserved IPs . ~~~)-Steven---- "I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.

Ah heck, maybe I ought to put the web pages up at Brinkster or Webhostme and hope that the pop-ups and banner ads don't look too bad to people reviewing my programs. *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*

I've had mine since dial-up days (made a deal w/ my ISP @ the time - they kicked me off first if all the lines filled up; I could use 'redial' grin). Could you indulge me in an experiment? Dunno if it's relevant, but can you put a reference in your hosts file on the webserver that points normad.homelinux.com to your local address (192.168.0.2)?

Told them I applied the latest firmware, they emailed me back to try the latest firmware upgrade. Duh!

Post #39,715 by Steven A S 5/23/02 6:11:53 PM Reply	troubleshooting I looked at the manual for that model. It doesn't look like that router allows you to set up your own packet filters. I guess I just assumed it did. You'll definately want to set up a firewall on your server if there is no packet filter on the router. I've included a checklist of troubleshooting questions, please don't feel insulted by the simplicity of some of them, sometimes we all miss the little things. Is the DHCP server enabled on the router? -Yes --Did you reserve the server's IP address in the DHCP Server Settings? --Is your server set up as a DHCP client? --You might also try disabling DHCP and setting up your server with a static IP (see below) -No --Did you manually set the DNS addresses of your ISP on your server? Does your ISP for some reason block that port (and others)? They don't normally, but it is possible. ~~~)-Steven---- "I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.

Post #39,806 by orion 5/24/02 10:49:44 AM Reply	Re: troubleshooting I set up the server with the static IP 192.168.0.2 and used the ISP's DNS settings. I followed all those steps, and either the ISP is blocking port 80, or this router needs some other settings? *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*
Post #39,854 by Steven A S 5/24/02 4:09:04 PM Reply	Have you looked at The Intrusion Detection Log? Both Imric and I have tried port scans on your IP, these should have shown up on this log if they made it to your router. Another thing you can try is connecting your server directly to the DSL modem. See if your web server shows up then. You should probably have Black Ice running to protect yourself, just make sure you can open up port 80. Also make sure your security updates are current. ~~~)-Steven---- "I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.

Post #39,857 by n3jja 5/24/02 5:05:07 PM Reply	DSL or Cable? either the ISP is blocking port 80 Verizon has done exactly this on the East Coast. Anyone that had DSL before the merger with GTE may not be blocked, but everyone else using Verizon ADSL is probably hosed. I'd suggest switching to port 8080 and see if things magically start working.
Post #39,917 by orion 5/25/02 5:04:16 PM Reply	DSL DirectTV (I joined when they were Telocity). Do they bloack port 80? If so, they never told me that they did. *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*
