I get "Unable to connect" from Firefox. or "This site can't be reached" and ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE from Konqueror.What do you mean by WLAN Name and WLAN IP? Are you using DNS? Are both devices connected to the WLAN? Some WLAN Routers have a security setting for device isolation that prevents WLAN Clients from networking with each other.The WLAN IP number is the router's "outside" number. My server is on the "inside" side of the router.
Ok so if I understand you correctly then you are attempting to port forward 80 and 443 through the router's WAN Wide Area Network interface to a server located in the DMZ DeMilitarized Zone. Does the server have Apache ACL's, IP Tables or TCP wrapper running on it? Can you try to do a port ping or use telnet to connect to port 80 to test connectivity. ex: `telnet <Routers WAN IP Address or Public DNS Name> 80`. As you say that the server is on the inside of your network. Have you tried placing the server in the DMZ?
I have mapped port 8079 to port 80 in my router. I can't load pages using that mapping.I also map an external port (not 22) to port 22, and I can "ssh" to my computer using its WLAN name.I have cleared browser caches. I have restarted the router. I'm not using a proxy server.This was all working until about three weeks ago. I didn't change the firmware in my Linksys.Any ideas?--
