Hi,
  I have Redhat 6.1 installed on a ADSL link and the webserver is Apache... My
computer is the master of a house LAN, ie. I do the firewall...

Now, my best friend that lives in the same city as me has managed to see my
website with no problems from his home and his girlfriend's...

It seems nobody here on news.povray.org can manage to see it...

I just don't understand why they can't and my friend here can...

The website is at www.666Mhz.net
which points to 666Mhz.myip.org

Thanks for any hints, help or anything else!
	Simon

I live in the same city too, and I can't see it either.

Netscape times out.
Internet Explorer times out.
Telnet to port 80 times out.

I guess it's time for you to look at the firewall logs for my IP address
(available in the headers of this message) to see what happened.

Try to find out what the A stands for in "ADSL" ;)

I forgot to add that ping and traceroute to your machine work fine, so
it's not a routing issue and that "regular" telnet and telnet to the
SMTP port are blocked right away, so it's definitely a problem with your
firewall.  Make sure it allows packets that have source port 80 and
destination port > 1023.

Why, because everyone loading the page has to share that piddily bandwidth?

All I can say is it happens to me too, long pause at a blank web page with the
NameZero banner on it then Page Cannot Be Displayed, not seeing server.
Lucky to have people like Francois L. to help.  Same city huh?  House-call
time.  ;-)

I do network stuff for a living, and spend most of my days configuring
Cisco PIX firewalls so I might be of help however I am not familiar with
the way ipchains work on Linux.

Bieng the nice guy that I am, I'd probably do it for free if Simon were
to send me his config file(s) and log.  This way, he would save on the
fees I charge.  (Which are unlimited supplies of beer and Pizza for the
duration of my stay, BTW).

I have an idea as to why this is happening, my DSL client rp-pppoe is a new
version and in the new version I noticed it does the firewall... but it seems to
be absolute in a sense that it Has to be that client that does the firewall,
anything else wont work (if I connect with this one...)...  the client's
firewall is set to LAN which let the LAN access internet via my computer, I also
have the choice for stand alone (can't set the firewall myself after that...)
and none (same thing)...  The idea is that I am able to set a basic firewall
that let everything pass through, not much of a security, but anyway...  the
problem is that the program seems to take control of the ipchains settings...

This could be the cause of all this, it makes sense that something playing with
the firewall might be the cause of a firewall problem ;)...  But then why can my
friend log on the server?  This is very odd, he couldn't a month ago and now he
can, but nobody else can...

Anyway, I set the program to have No firwall settings, this should get rid of
the problem in my idea... if it works I'll contact the author to see how I can
manage my own firewall (like I did before I had this software)...

If nothing still work, I could manage to pay some Pizza&Beer for an evening! ;)

Thanks,
	Simon

does your friend also have adsl ???
... from the same provider ???

do you both have similar ip's ???
are you in the same subnet ???

possibly the firewall is set up to let all connections from your subnet in
???

i have choosen, to setup my firewall not dependent from the ip I have, but
from the device the connections are coming (and going)

but I use iptables (netfilter of the 2.4.0-kernel)

first thing i did was to drop ping-packages the come from ippp0/ippp1 (i use
isdn)
then (for the moment) all other connections are allowed ...
masquerading is done for the ippp0/ippp1 interface ...
and every connection that comes from one of the eth* (my house-network) on
tcp-port 80 is redirected to this computer at port 3128 ...
so i configured it to be a transparent proxy ... and surfing is quite a lot
faster on often visited pages ...

I don't know if you wanted to hear this, but i'm (quite) proud of having
done this myself, so i thought i'll tell it everybody *g* ...

Previously I just got the blank page, but now I'm getting a page of 
Japanese about Apache with a link to apache.org

I tried earlier and got a list of links to pages in various languages 
saying that Apache was successfully installed...it seems to be working 
now, though.
