Hello guys,

Please excuse my post. I'd like to ask for some assistance or
your expert advice on how to go about my problem. This
concerns having Linux as my internet gateway and a Windows
2000 server as a web server.

I still consider myself a newbie to linux. I have
a small office network and here are my server setups
in particular to what I have mentioned.

1.) Linux Server (acting as internet gateway)
+ Redhat v9.0 (Shrike)
- Firewall-Jay v0.91
(IP: 192.168.1.254)
+ Connected to a DSL

2.) Windows 2000 Server (Acting as web server)
+ IIS 5.0
+ .NET Framework
+ .NET web apps
(IP: 192.168.1.9)


Goal:
- Users should be able to access my web apps in my webserver
from the internet via port redirection/forwarding to port 82.

Current Scenario:
1.) The Window Server (webserver) is currently connected
to a Windows Domain (AD), and the linux server is not connected
though they reside on the same network/subnet.

2.) I have already configured the linux server as an internet
gateway for my small network and is already working.
I have also set the Firewall-Jay for some port blocking.

3.) I have also configured Firewall-jay (linux server)
for port redirection on 82 to port 80 of the webserver


Problem:
1.) I've tried accessing the webapp from inet using
the public IP with port redirect to 82 but it seems
it cannot reach or find the application


I've tried looking for some info on linux and windows configuration.
The internet has enourmous information on this matter and I had
a hardtime looking for that particular info that will address this
problem.

Guys, can you suggest on how should I go about this problem. I would
much appreciate if you can provide me a guide list on addressing this
problem. from there, I can look further from inet for instructions
and procedures in configuring linux and windows. I would also
appreciate
URL's providing references, or perhaps ebooks touching this
kind of scenario or problem.

Thank you very much,

mon

Possibly because web servers live on port 80?

Yes, i think that the mapping is backwards also. If the abnormal port is
what is intended (pretty much blocking out public access) OP should use a
port directing form of url, ala "http:82//www.whatever.domain".

Thanks for all your post.

It is working already. It seems it cannot resolve my public ip with
port redirect if
I had to do it withing my network. I am to access it outside our
network, it working.
