Dear Jerome, looks like you have two problems :
First : Ping works - tracroute not Are using your Wxx and Linx-Boxes same DNS? If yes, try "traceroute -n EXT-IP" on your Linux boxes. (Ping doesn't a try to get the name for the given ip-address, but traceroute does - and DNS-timeouts are rather long). You tried to disable firewall. That didn't help, because it seems not to be the problem with the different behavior of ping and traceroute on your linux boxes. You should have all internal machines get any internetnames resolved into ip-addresses, including xx.dyndns.org! Now, if all your Workstations and your server should be able to make dns well, we'll come to next problem : Looks like your router does not do the portforwarding for pakets coming from the internal net. Maybe its a router problem, maybe firewall. Try switching firewall off again. Maybe your router has a "switch" to make him forward pakets from the inside with destination adress "EXT-IP" back to the inside - with destination is ip of the server. To latest notes : i don't think the xx.dyndns.org entry in hosts does do that much for the machines on your internal network. But try it without. Linux itself does not need to know the name of EXT-IP to run smooth. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
