68.68.202.34 is the dynamic IP address to my system given by my Cable
company
192.168.254.225 is the IP address of my Linux web server
To access my web server form my network I can use 192.168.254.225 and
that works fine.
but to access my web server from the outside you will have to use the
dynamic IP address at the moment 68.68.202.34 given buy my cable
company.
My problem is that even know I have configured my router to pass port 80
to 192.168.254.225 it does not work.
See below the config of my Router
Private IP: 192.168.254.225
Private Port: 80
Type: TCP
Public Port: 80
Here is more info on what I am trying to do:
