TICKET ARCHIVE -> Bypassing My Firewall
zensavvas - May 31, 2005 - 10:50 am
My website is on a Mac OS X server which is behind a firewall. (an external firewall, not the mac OS X firewall)
I have registered my DNS with the help of my ISP so that everytime someone types the address of my webite he is redirected on my server.
The problem is that I cant track the vistors of my website. All I get is the internal IP I have set on my local network. Can you help me fix this?

you will have to set your external firewall settings to redirect http request to your server.
by default webservers listen on port 80. Therefore you would have to set your external firewall's port 80 to redirect http requests to your Mac's port 80
hardware routers devices (SMC, DLink, Linksys) usually can be configured by using a web browser (Safari, Firefox) and http://192.168.1.1. It is best to read the manual to configure those routers.
If it is computer running a firewall, e.g. linux then unfortunately I unable to help you there
good luck
