I presume that you're attempting to run a webserver that is accessible from the Internet, and you're trying to test it. As such:- 1] Where are you attempting to access the webserver *from*? 2] How are you trying to connect? You mentioned that you can connect on other ports, could you provide an example? The reasoning behind my questions, is the fact that if you are sitting on your local lan, and attempting to access the webserver as "www.your_web_server.com" in your browser, then unless you have local (read internal) name resolution on your lan, then you won't be able to connect. If you've got the webserver set up and running, a request from your internal site would take the following route (if you're attempting to connect via the method above): Your browser would attempt to resolve the www.your_web_site.com through whatever NS (from ISP?) entries you have in /etc/resolv.conf. Unless those NS's have records for your webserver, they won't be able to return any resource records to your browser. In the same vein, unless the box that the webserver is running on, actually knows its name to be www.your_web_site.com, then he won't know to answer requests at port 80 anyways. Hope this helps. Let me know if I've got your setup completely wrong as well :-) Regards, Stacey > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- Stacey Roberts B.Sc (HONS) Computer Science Web: www.vickiandstacey.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
