Hi Keith,
I cannot seem to get any local browser to access the web server with the external (srv.asgard.org.nz) IP address. I have tried external port scanners and they seem to see no open ports at all.
--> this is a feature of the Firewall and is supposed to work like this. Try to search the list archives for "protect from internal". Some people have suggested rules to insert into /etc/sysconfig/scripts/SuSEfirewall2-custom to make this work. See also no. 25.) in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 Another solution is split-brain DNS which gives the local clients the internal IP when they ask for the name of your webserver. Good luck! Armin
