I have my freebsd system configured with a static IP behind an Apple Airport Extreme router using ethernet connection rather than wireless. I am trying to set up dynamic dns (with dyndns.com service) and I would like to open port 80 and others so that I can use my freebsd system as a web server. My freebsd system is set up with ddclient to associate dynamic ip address of router (I have DHCP connection to my ISP, the local connnection to my freebsd sytem is static ip address. Everything appears to be working and I am able to try to telnet the dyndns hostname and it returns the correct address of my router, but it does not appear that the router is forwarding the port request to the freebsd system. The port tools on the website for dyndns.com return that the ports I am testing are closed. (80, 21, 23) How do I debug this ? The AE router as a syslog that I have set for the highest level of debugging, but I do not see any port mapping requests in the. The router is set of for NAT enabled and I have entered the static IP address of my freebsd system associated with the desired ports that I want. A call to my ISP confirmed (at least they told me) that they do not block any ports. Any ideas on where to start ? Thanks!
