This is for all the people who cannot view their website for multiple reasons. 1) You enter your IP address and you cannot see your website. 2) You can only...

Leave the 0.0.0.0 in the outside IP box, put the IP of your router (192.168.1.1) in the inside IP box...
Note that as you're using port 80, it may appear not to be working when in fact your ISP is blocking port 80. You may also have some problems accessing your site by internet IP from your own network, but we'll cross those bridges later :D

talking about bridges i'm halfway on the golden gate ;)
anyways when i'm filling in those settings on the speedtouch all goes fine,
as long as i don't touch the apply button...
when i press apply it can't find tha page and i have to reset the modem :(
Is there any way to establisch a connection on another port,
and what settings do i need then :S
I have these settings now:
Abyss server:
Port: 8080 (doh!)
Draytek router:
Service name: http
protocol: TCP
Public port: 8080
Private IP: 192.168.1.10
Private port: 8080
Active: yes (checked)
Speedtouch ADSL modem:
Protocol: TCP
Outside IP: 213.84.215.159 (doesnt establisch a connection when 0.0.0.0 is filled in)
Outside port: 8080
Inside IP: 192.168.1.1
Inside port: 8080
Thing still doesn't work... anyone?
The ADSL modem works fine though, as long as i don't mention port 80 :P

Try changing it to a non-standard port; as ISPs also block 8080. Use something above 1024-maybe 21208.

Other people can't view my webpage but I can. What should I do, cause I didn't understand the above stuff.

Read it again. It doesn't get much simpler than how it's explained above, so if you can't follow it or can't be bothered to explain which bits you don't understand, you should probably stick to free webspace like Geocities...

Timmins

No, I am not being lazy, seriously. I just don't know what to do. I don't understand it. Please don't get me wrong :(.

What is your internal IP address?

Timmins

I downloaded the .bat file and it says my Ip address is 192.168.1.1
Timmins

iNaNimAtE

Hmm, ususally that is the address of the router. Type that into the browser and see what you get.
Also, what kind of router do you have?

Timmins

My IP (I think) is 192.168.1.1
My Port number I am using is 123.
I typed http://192.168.1.1:123 into the browser and the website I have inside htdocs opened up.
I am not behind a router at all. We have broadband though, maybe thats of some relevance....
Thanks for helping me, Timmins

iNaNimAtE

How many computers do you have (how many of them have the same internet account), and how many ports are on the back of your Broadband modem?

Anonymoose

He just told you he didn't have a router. Have you considered he may have a modem ?

iNaNimAtE

Sorry, I meant to say modem.

Timmins

I don't know. Sorry.

Can you be specific?
192.168.1.1 can be either a Gateway/Modem/Router etc.... Whatever that maybe, can you access it or login to it? If your answer is NO and have multi-port on that device, then you simply can not have any server on your LAN side to listen for any incoming request.
When that device [router/modem/gateway etc] cannot be access to tell it to forward certian port to certain IP on your LAN side, then that device simply ignore any incoming request since it do not know what to do with it but to drop it.
Assume that device is a modem that provide to you from your ISP. Then I would generally assume it is a modem/gateway device and also assume it on DHCP [NAT] mode, accord to your LAN IP. You will need to contact your ISP to reconfigue [if possible] to allow all port open. Also check with them if you can configure yourself on that device. Otherwise, have them open all port and get a router to control your in/outbound request and other setting. Then you can setup any type of server. Otherwise, I believed this is a deadend since your modem/gateway is the obsticle.

I have followed the instructions in detail for setting up my router.
I have a Linksys BEFW11S4, connedted to a cable modem, the computer that is hosting the server is connected directly to the router.
I have setup port forwarding to port 80 and still did not work.
I have used the No-IP service to set up a redirect, I can't access my server still.
What am I doing wrong? Is there something else that needs to be set up on my router.
I did try to set DMZ to my Server computer. but that did not help either.
Any suggestions?

I used the following web site to check, http://www.psi-rho.com/dsltools/test.php?type=www the site told me that port 80 does not seem to be open.
I tried using both my host name as well as the host IP address, both gave me the same message.
My host name is : bou-mansour.myvnc.com my IP address is 69.244.182.119
Any help ??

I could realy use some help, I get into my site, but the only thing that show's is the frameborders and page Title, can anybody help me with this, I worked almost all night on the page and the Server has been up-and-running for 10,5 hours!

pwsabm: There is a good chance your ISP is blocking port 80 (I know you tried a No-IP port 80 redirect, but let's just try this). Change the port in the Abyss console to 21208. Then go and forward 21208 to your correct internal IP address (check for typos!). Then type in your IP, followed by the port (such as 63.203.35.55:21208) to see your website.
zpelmo: Make sure you set the correct SRC for the frames pages. If it looks something like C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\page1.html, you need to change it to /page1.html (called "relative paths").
