Hey when I try letting people to access a file on my server it dosen't work. For me on the LAN network I get a HTTP 500 Internal Server Error, as for the other users they get a 403 Forbidden error. Their shouldn't be any ports I should forward but if their are please tell me them, I also set-up a DMZ in the router to expose the server out of LAN onto the internet. So what else could I do wrong?

the http addy is this http://24.71.223.140/Flanigan02.rar

That's the file except people can't access it... and no I DO NOT! want a DNS or any other kind of crap like that nothing really important on that server that is why I release the IP.

Thanks,
Steve

24.71.223.140 is static or dynamic?

the error page it generates is not an apache2triad error page, you sure your ISP doesn't blobk port 80?? either that or a router problem.

Dynamic IP, and I'm pretty sure my ISP didn't block it cause I had it installed last time and it worked fine, and I also set-up the router correctly... I also just checked the logs here's what it has to say

OMG I JUST NOTICED!!! It keeps changing! the damn IP keeps changing! WTF LOL

to quote myself again,

does http://localhost/ work?

recheck your router

Yes http://localhost does work, what should I be checking in my router?

Edit: btw IP is now 24.71.223.148

#1 port 80 is open on your router firewall

#2 its sending port 80 requests to your a2t machine

it may be possible your router changing your computers IP, for example if your router assigns your a2t machine 192.168.1.100 , you setup your router to foreward to 192.168.1.100, which is ok, BUT if your router changes your a2t machine to 192.168.1.101 then you would get this message.

check to see if you can set your a2t to a static IP.

No I staticed the router Ip to the a2t machine which is 192.168.0.101 and it cannot be changed! I'll just try re-installing at2. See if that works...

first you have dynamic IP which will change, you need a static IP, or

the DNS crap you refer to is the only solution you have to keeping an IP, you dont really keep the IP it would be a domain which would be updated to your ever changing IP........

re-installing a2t will not help you, a2t does not control IP or DNS in anyway

I would have to say that it is a router problem..... routers use ACLs (Access Control Lists) [I am a 3/4 CCNA certified] Try setting up port forwarding to your PC..... If that still does not work, try contacting your ISP.
