- Router problems
- Posted by Edward Principe on March 5th, 2004
I just got Road Runner... I got 2 computers... One is running Windows 2000
Advanced Server... It has a web server that is IIS (Internet Information
Server)....
The cable company gave me a cable modem that has a router built into it... I
want to route web traffic to my Windows 2000 Server... I went to
Security->Allow... I typed in port 80, but if I access it from the Internet
it times out.... If I access it from the internal IP address; the web pages
come up...
I eventually want to move to Linux, 'cause I can get more up to date
software for a cheap price... But I want to get it to work for Windows,
'cause I'm more familer with Windows...
I called support, and he said it isn't routing right... But how do I fix
that? The cable company gave me the modem/router that's name Toshiba
PCX2000...
Oh, yeah; I'm setting up the site to develop video games... If your a
graphics artist, e-mail me at eprincipe@neo.rr.com...

Have they changed your ip as of late they have been using proxy servers?
Do you have dns set for your ip?
Try dyndns.org if not

I'm using a program to get the Dynamic IP address (www.my-domain.us)... I
even typed the IP address from the Internet that's assigned to the cable
modem... Still didn't come up.... I think it's a router problem, but I'm new
to this stuff...

Is the port 80 set to the internal ip of the system that has the webpage?
usually in boxes something like 80 192.168.123.***
and did you set an ip address for the websystem

What's that supposed to do? Why did you do it? Where did you set
this?
That's a crock. See below.
There's your problem: according to the manual at
http://www.toshiba.com/taisnpd/produ...000_manual.pdf, this is
not a router, and doesn't do port forwarding. It's just a modem, and
shouldn't HAVE to do port forwarding. I have no idea what you've done
and how you've set things up, but this PCX2000 plugs directly in to a
computer via USB or network patch cable, and that computer is directly
on the internet. You should have no problem accessing a web server on
that computer from the internet.
