OS X Web Serving behind a router
I have been trying to serve a web page with 10.2 behind router. I have gone into my router setup and redirected port 80 to 198.162.0.2 (the computer that is serving)
I have also enabled web sharing in the config panel.
Now with a browser i can do http://198.168.0.2 and everything works fine. But if i try to use my dynamic ip carter.shacknet.nu i get nothing. I know the dynamic ip is set up right because i can ping it and it works fine. Is there something i am missing here?

Very few routers will let you do 'loopback'
routing which is what you're attempting.
You can get to the server from another
machine on your LAN via the 192.x
DHCP addresses but you won't be able
to via its public dynamic #.
However, someone (a friend perhaps)
outside your LAN would.

I just set up a Linksys router for the reason that i have a new 17" iMac coming in the next few days. I'm planning on using my older B/W G3 as a web server and Hotline server and both will share the DHCP based Cable Modem Connection.
I got the router hooked up and all IP forwarding seems to work.
Web ports active and forwarding
Hotline ports active and forwarding
FTP ports active and forwarding
Telnet ports active and forwarding
AppleShare ports active and forwarding
Timbuktu ports active and forwarding
BUT... I can access my webserver with the IP address from work but the Web site browsing is DogSlow!!!
All other protocols above are working fine...i may not have opened enough Ports for web serving to work well....Hmmm.
BTW. When i installed the router my IP address changed after a year...I have had a registered domain name routing to my IP address with no problems....So now that it's changed, i'm waiting to see if the new DNS record will forward my name to the new IP...Keep your fingers crossed...
keep me informed of your problem and i will do the same here....

My DNS propigated and my domain name is sucessfully accessing my Dynamic (once a year) IP address....
All Web serving/ Accessing seems to be working with the linksys router installed
