I don't have an Actiontec modem, but it looks like it's a combination DSL modem and NATting router. Working from their user manual, I gather that---under the "WAN IP Address" advanced setting page---you've set the modem up to either obtain its (static) IP address automatically or you've specified the static IP address manually. In particular, you don't have "transparent bridging" enabled, so your WAN IP address is your global static IP address and your RedHat machine is obtaining a 192.168.0.xxx IP address from the modem via DHCP, right? If this is correct, I'd suggest that you begin by entering the advanced configuration and double-check that "remote management" is disabled and that, on the "port forwarding" screen, you have an entry that will forward packets for TCP port 80 to the *internal* IP address, say 192.168.0.2, of your PC. Now, even with everything set up this way, it may *still* be the case that when you "http://my.static.ip/" from within your internal network, you get the configuration pages for your modem (or you get nothing at all). In fact, this probably *is* what will happen; it's just a pecularity of how NAT works. The only way to get to your RedHat webserver from your internal network will be to do "http://192.168.0.2/". The key is whether or not a buddy, connecting from the *outside* to "http://my.static.ip/" gets your RedHat webserver or not. -- Kevin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
