Thanks for all the re:Here is what I ended up with; (INTRENET) | [65.12.210.216] [ DSL MODEM ] [192.168.1.254] | [ DLINK ROUTER]---[DHCP ] [192.168.0.1 ] [HOME BOX ] | [192.168.0.2 ] [GENTOO WEB SERVER]
In the DSL modem I opened port 80 to the router. In the router I forwarded port 80 to 192.168.0.2 In the router I Enabled the DMZ to the WEB SERVER I think its working,I had a heck of a time getting the router to cooperate,I kind of know how to do it now but there aren't any instructions and I was not going to call BS.They wanted to sell me wireless for a few hundred and when I asked if it would work with Linux I was told (you have all heard it).I had to install windows to get to the router setup page.So On the Home box I'm installing gentoo as I write.I had a problem with rsync it would stop at 101,000 files so I had to web-sync.I am sure it has something to do with this set-up,but hay we are learning,thanks again david -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
