Hi all,

I am quite new to VB but I think I made some progess in using this nice software.

I have just installed an apache webserver on a debian linux as a guest system on my WinXP host. I am using ispCP to configure my apache webserver.

Everthing is working nice on my host and guest system. I can configure my webservers completly using the webinterface. I can also connect from my host system to the different webservers I created on my linux guest. I just added the server names of the webservers in my hosts file WinXP.

I am connected to the internet by a small router (ZyWall 2). Now I want to be able to connect to my webservers on my linux guest from outside (Internet).

My system is configured like this:
Router (Gateway): XXX.XXX.XXX.1
Host: XXX.XXX.XXX.64
Guest: XXX.XXX.XXX.80
Netmask: 255.255.255.0

I am uing the free DynDNS service (configured on my ZyWall 2 Router) to update my temp IP address.

Is it possible to configure my network (router/host/guest system) that I can connect at least to one of my webservers on the guest machine?

I have some basic knowledge if TCP/IP od course. I would be glad for any kind of support. Thanks a lot!

Regards

Stefan

Port forwarding, port routing or whatever it is called in your router and Bob is your uncle

Ie.
Router: port 88 -> IP_FROM_VB_HOST:1088
VB_HOST: port forward local 1088 -> VM:80

Access webserver inside VM from OUTSIDE:88

It looks like you use Host Interface Networking. See www.port-forward.com for more info how to forward ports on your router. We won't discuss it here, as it's outside the scope of this forum.
