Http File Server (behind router)

[browser]

I am currently hosting a site from my computer which is run through a router.

it is a linksys WAG54G. It's web configuration panel is at 192.168.1.1 and my computer has a local IP of 192.168.1.100.

I use DynDNS to assign a name to my Internet IP (which I will obviously not put on here). Now when I enter this name in a browser, it takes me to my router configuration instead of my server, which can only be reached through 192.168.1.100 from inside my network (and I want to be able to access it from outside.).

How can I get DynDNS to point to my server?

have you forwarded port 80 to 192.168.1.100 ?

[browser]

yes i did

edit: sorted.

Updated HFS version and changed port. Seems to work now

out of curioustiy what http server are you running and having your router setting viewable externally is a bad idea.

hmmm...HFS....baaaaaad idea
hope you got some kinda security plugins
when you start seeing requests for cmd.exe, root.exe, etc you'll know what i mean

1. Forwarded port 80 to your computer
2. Point DynDNS to your external ip. Try http://www.ipchicken.com/

3. Just make sure you are using an updated server and use common sense.

well we went through this like, last year, i think it was
i was on HFS's side in the argument...
then i used it a while longer...
and noticed how much of a big ass security hole it puts in the system

i dont need it that bad, IMO no one does
unless like i said, you can find some kinda enhancements for security
i cant be bothered
the IIS service with XP Pro can be secured a hell of a lot more from what i have seen

no, not everyone has XP Pro, but...
theres sites like yousendit that do just fine for that kinda stuff
hell you can do up to a GB per file with yousendit
how much more do you need?
even DVDs are split into 0.99 GB VOBs (unless its an ISO, img, or somethin)

yes i have to agree with u...i used to get those commands when i didnt have a router...but now being behind a router i dont get any of those cmd.exe crap...

but im starting to dislike hfs...i sometimes get the cannot find server page...not too reliable...looking for an alternative but the only option i have is ftp...

gave hfs a try and didn't really like it. I will stick with apache and a few well written php pages. Considering 60% of internet sites use apache it should be pretty damn secure by now as well.

A FTP server like Bulletproof FTP Server (http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=bulletproof+ftp+server&spell=1) is best at just serving files. :)
