I'm trying to host a small web server from my home network; however, I have not been able to successfully port forward ports to the local server. My current network topology looks like this:
Cable Modem/Router -> Secondary Wireless Router -> Many computers (including server)
The modem/router I'm using is a Cisco (Scientific Atlantic) DPC2100, provided by my ISP. The wireless router that I'm using as the central hub to my home network is a Linksys E3000. The computer being used as a server is running Ubuntu 10.04 Server Edition. The main issue is that I can't access the server remotely, using my WAN IP address. I have port forwarded my wireless router; however, I believe that I need to somehow set my modem to bridge mode. As far as I can tell though, this isn't possible.
Here are the various IP address settings:
DPC2100
WAN: 69.xxx.xxx.xxx
Internal IP: 192.168.100.1
Internal Network: 192.168.7.0
E3000
IP Address: 192.168.7.2
Gateway: 192.168.7.1
Internal IP: 192.168.1.1
Internal Network: 192.168.1.0
Server
IP Address: 192.168.1.123
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Now I can do an nmap
at various nodes, and here are the results (from the server):
nmap localhost
: 22,25,53,80,110,139,143,445,631,993,995,3306,5432,8080 open
nmap 192.168.7.2
: 22,25,80 (filtered),110,139,445 open (ports I have forwarded in the E3000)*
nmap 69.xxx.xxx.xxx
: 1720 open
*For some reason, I can SSH into the server at 192.168.7.2, but not view the website.
Here are also some other settings:
/etc/hosts/
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 servername
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

Let me know if you need any other information; some stuff probably slipped my mind.
