ok, well let me open this up a bit more. I have a d-link router with port 80 wide open, as well as port 21 for ftp open. Both my ftp and my web server is operational. If you open up ftp://138.88.4.211, you will be able to access my ftp server. But, if you open up my web server at http://138.88.4.211, you can't access it. I've went round and round with D-link and its not the router. All the setttings are correct. They said Verizon might be the culprit. josh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean Middleditch" <elanthis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2003 6:09 PM Subject: Re: easy networking question (maybe) > On Sat, 2003-10-11 at 17:48, Ernest L.
