 |
|
Can someone direct me to documentation about how to connect to a squirrelmail server that is behind a cable modem gateway?
The setup is this:
Outside connection / Firefox --> Linksys Gateway --> Mail Server / Squirrelmail
I don't have any idea where to begin.
I'm also interested in vnc the same way, I assume it's a similar situation.

| You need to setup your Linksys Gateway to forward port 80 to your internal webserver IP address. Keep in mind that your ISP might be blocking port 80, so you might want to try something non-standard. |

Thank you.
By something nonstandard, I assume you mean to set my webserver to another port and forward the gateway to that port - am I correct?
Also, is there anything I need to do regarding security/permissions, or will it just work?
One more: I would just do the same for vnc, forward whatever port it uses?

Exactly

On the router, No
For apache, it should work, as far as security, that really depends on how you configured apache.
For starters, check your mod_proxy settings, by default it's set to off, and unless you are using it, leave it that way.
Good luck |
