I have another question posted which might explain more fully

 

but using a dydns hostname and auto dns updater software

im only able to see the livebox information page up at my dydns URL

 

why why why

 

there is a screen to add Lan server

should i try to add the home uniform server and if so, HOW?

or am i barking up the wrong tree - please help

 

LAN server configuration.

 

Server name :

Access activated :

Protocol :

Port from :

To :

Local IP address :

Hi Starlight

 

This is something I would do just to make sure everything is working from the Uniform Server point of view.

 

Inside the w:\www folder create a new folder called 'test'. Now try browse to that using your dydns domain.

 

Let me know your results.

-------------------------

EDIT: It seems as though your Livebox router accepts public port 80 access. Some routers have a webserver which has public port 80 access. I think this is the problem. Try changing this port to 81 so your Uniform Server can listen on Port 80 and not your Router.

Hi Kalpz,

 

I think your right that the livebox has taken over port 80, creating a folder text an putting an index file in it just displays 404.

Another sign is that the dydns address immediately requires password - which is the livebox passwords not any passwords i have created for my localserver or anything.

 

so i need to try to change port of livebox - any help for this also appreciated.

Thanks

Try this go to:

 

http://www.whatismyip.org/

 

Pick up your IP address xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx

 

Now go to:

 

http://www.google.com/translate_t?langpair=fr|en

 

At the bottom of the page type in a test page as suggested by Kalpz:

 

http://xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx/test.html

 

The above guarantees external access is your page translated.

 

Or do you get this:

 

The requested URL / test.html was not found on this server.

 

The problem I have is no router will grab port 80 it just listens. The livebox may be an exception trying to make things easy for a user!

 

 

Not knowing what this box is try the following link:

I apologise for the intrusion

 

All the best

Hi Ric

Any external access goes to his LiveBox router's Webserver, which runs on Port 80. I don't think any configuration changes to US will help.. UNLESS you change US's listening port number. Though I never liked that because sometimes it would display the port number in the address bar..

 

Do you want to PM either me or Ric the address so we can have a look inside the LiveBox and find out how to change it's port number?
