Hello everyone!
Hey, I've been having this router for some time now, and it used to work fine, I used to have an FTP server and everything was happy.
Then I took the server down. Now I want to have an HTTP server, but it desn't work!
I'm using Apache. I can access the website from the server computer, but not the other computers on the network.
It's not Apache because I've tried a 'bored-coded' some other server programs.
Router's a DI-514.
Help? Thanks!

How are you accessing the server from the other computers? Via the LAN IP address or the Public IP address. Either one should work. Have you forwarded port 80 from your router to the host computer?
Stuart

I use LAN IP.
And I can't open port 80 because the router complains about it conflicting with something that I cannot remember, but Google says it's some type of digital camera. Don't know how to fix that, so I tried 81 and 8080. Neither work.
Help? Thanks!

If you try with your LAN IP and it doesn't work then there must be something wrong with the server configuration as the LAN IP doesnt go through the router, only the built in switch.
You can use port 8080, I have done it myself when I had a port conflict.
If you forward port 8080 from you router you also have to configure Apache to listen on port 8080. It defaults to port 80.
If Apache is configured to listen on port 8080 to access the server from within the LAN your would have to use http://192.168.2.3:8080 assuming 192.168.2.3 is the IP address of the server.

That's what I'm doing.
Hey, when configuring Apache, I have to change the ports on ServerName and Listen, right? And do the hostnames I type on those two matter at all?
But then again, Apache isn't the only one that isn't working.
Thanks!

I have a DI-624 and it does some strange stuff....
if i want to open a port for all my computers i have to do it individually, using the ip range option doesnt work....
try to tinker around with it..
