Our local net is provided by an ethernet router that has been configured with the new external IP address in exactly the same way as the old one. I've just reviewed the settings again and both https(443) and http(80) appear to be NAT'd to 192.168.0.x which is both the http & https server. Https works & http doesn't. The external IP is xxx.yyy.zzz.240 with netmask xxx.yyy.zzz.224 and gateway xxx.yyy.zzz.225 and I think that works. The dns server ip is setup in the gateway and it acts as both a dhcp server and static router. When I connect from the lan side to http://xxx.yyy.zzz.240 it seems to work fine. From outside it fails. > On Saturday 16 August 2008 15:55:11 Robin Becker wrote: >> After a recent change of ISP and hence our external IP address I find >> that our FreeBSD 6.1 apache http server appears to be invisible from >> outside our site.
