I assume that you are trying to allow your external users to see the web site using the external facing IP address (the Dynamic IP), or using a URL which is pointing to this IP. In that case you need to add the following line just before true in the fw_custom_before_anti_spoofing() section of the firewall2-custom.rc.config file:
iptables -A INPUT -i
-d <dynamic IP address> -j ACCEPT The one problem with this is if you IP address changes you must modify this rule and restart the firewall. But, more likely than not, if you keep you machine on all of the time your IP address will rarely, if ever change. I know that my cable modem IP has not changed, with the exception of the ATT / Excite boon doggle.
Thanks, Jim. My address does change, even when I leave my machine on all the time. So I guess your IPtable rule just won't work since Dyndns makes sure my website is reachable even when the address changes. Thanks anyway fx -- _______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux AIM fyxyf
