Hello 68kmla,
:?:
I'm looking for a little help to get my entry up and running.
I'm planning on taking part in the Retro Challenge coming up in about a week. What am I doing? Well... I can't spill all my secrets... but I want to host my progress site on my blazing fast Mac Classic. So far I have the software set up and working okay. I'm having a slight problem with having the domain I registered with DynDns.org to resolve properly.
The Macintosh Classic is running MacHTTP 2.5.1 to serve the site on port 80. It is connected via an Asante ENSC to the network with a static IP of 192.168.10.105. My router is set up for Dynamic DNS through DynDns.org to resolve the address thismac.is-a-geek.com (the "is-a-geek.com" is one of DynDns.org's free domain options). The router is running a virtual server to direct traffic coming in on port 80 and to the Macintosh Classic.
Sending a ping command in Terminal to thismac.is-a-geek.com returns the IP address of my router. A quick DNS Lookup on any search engine returns this too.
I have tried changing the port settings on my router and MacHTTP to 8008, 8080, and a few others with little luck. The address thismac.is-a-geek.com won't resolve properly. I believe that my ISP may be blocking these ports (it is a university connection... ssshhh). Is there a way around this issue?
What does work? Typing the IP address 192.168.10.105 on my network to access the Mac Classic. Changing the port settings and typing 192.168.10.105:xxxx also does work. Accessing the server from an external network does not work though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Some of the hardware I may be using...
