Hosting my own website on a GoFlex Home

[jfharper]

OK...tried it, got same ip as before power-cycling my router.

Some ISP block port 80 to stop web servers from being run, not common though.

[jfharper]

OK, so the way I understand it, I configure apache in the httpd.conf file to listen to a different port, then set that port to forward in my router using the static ip of the GoFlex...is that correct?

The only ip I see in my router is 192.168.1.1 which is what I use to login locally...I don't see another "external" ip that matches the ip I get when visiting those links you all provided. There is a NAT setting enabled under WAN network settings.

[pepedog]

Don't touch THAT nat

On router there must be an info button, It should show what WAN ip address you have
Compare that to what that web page showed

Does http://<internal ip address of gf home> work?

[jfharper]

I'm using an airrouter, no info button, under main it shows some general stuff but no WAN ip address I got from that webpage. http://internalipofgfhome works internally, but not outside my home network.

Under Network->WAN Network Settings->DHCP is enabled with a DHCP Fallback IP number entered, but this does not match the ip address that webpage gave me.

OH, ok...there is another little box...one cable goes to my antennae and read POE the other goes to my router and read LAN. I remember getting login information before to check my signal strength, and had this written down...I tried the first ip in the browser to connect using a port number, didn't work, then I used the second ip written down, nope, then I used the IP given from the links you all provided along with the port I wrote down and it connected to a nanobridge m5...I was able to login using a user and password, but could only access the main page with signal strength information...I was unable to click the network, wireless, advanced, etc tabs...there was a few things I could click, one of which was port forwarding, which said port forwarding was disabled. I'm assuming this is my modem. I power-cycled it and went to those websites and got the same IP I got before, so maybe it is set static. Is there anything I can do?

I did setup and test my web server and it works locally...I can enter in the static IP I have setup in a browser and the placeholder page comes up.

Sounds like you're close. Maybe it's time to read the manual to figure out how to enable port forwarding.
