If you are using a linksys router you may want to look at the DMZ option. This totally exposes the server but it does not limit you to just 10 ports. See the documentation that came with your router.

My goal: isolate the (linux) server in my office to just server tasks (apache, zope, slashcode) and let another (windows) machine share the single ethernet connection in the office (no chance of getting another ethernet connection). I need to be able to connect another machine because someone else will be sharing my office, and I don't want that person inadvertantly messing up my server (and because the other person has meager skills and won't transition to linux easily even if he were allowed to use the server). What I've done so far: 1) I set up the router with ip addresses, etc., copied from the server 2) I then assigned the server a fixed ip address as advised by linksys (192.168.1.3) 3) I then configured the router to forward requests to the 192.168.1.3 adddres --that is, I have directed all http to port 80 at 192.168.1.3. So now apache works fine. I did the same ssh, ftp, etc, and I can ssh and ftp into the machine as well. I assigned 8080 to the ip address of the server (zope is at 8080) but no luck seeing zope. I set up the mysql server at the standard port, forwarded to the fixed ip as above. But also no luck contacting the mysql server. Can anyone point me to a page of instructions or make any suggestions? thanks, Robert rhood at mtsu edu Robert Hood Assistant Professor Department of Philosophy Middle Tennessee State University email: rhood@mtsu.edu voice: 615.650.2459 or 615.898.2050 web: http://appliedphilosophy.mtsu.edu fax: 615.905.8055 _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
