Hi all ,

This is to inform everybody that I've found a good & permanent solution to the problem

Port mapping is not the solution, as u can't keep adding ports via telnet as described above.

I know the permanent way of getting your external IP address to be @$$igned to your computer instead of your Ethernet DSL modem, so that all incoming on all ports will reach ur computer's apps. (eg.-http,ftp,pop3, or even game ports,etc.)

If anyone want's to know more, plz contact me via email @ angadsingh007@gmail.com or via msn messenger @ angad_singh@msn.com

This page has become very popular on google (try searching for "airtel broadband webserver" and it'll be the first result!!!!), so I don't want to disclose this info here!!

Hi Angad,

Can you please post the method to permanently getting your external IP address @$$igned to your computer instead of DSL Modem.

My VPN connection to my HO fails to connect over the present DSL config. I think that this will allow it do so. The technical help from Airtel simply told me that I need a business package to do that.

Tks

I gave up trying to do it (server with yozan modem).The company recommends using their router if I need (what they call) business-cl@$$ services.Moved back to a USB modem. The reason I did not want this in the first place was frequent connection drops (therefore neeeded to re-dial) and the fact that the USB modem don't work in linux.Got solutions to both of these issues. First, no more bothering with dialing - just put the task to dial into the connection into the cron daemon's startup tasks (after that, configure it to keep checking if connection works every 5 mins, if not work then re-dial automatically). And hosting the server was simple enough after this.[needless to say, because of the cost involved I had to move to 24-hour connection - plus I got the generic drivers for that modem to work in linux 😀]

Very good news guys!!!

I have finally created the web page for the problem at

http://airtelbroadband.cjb.net
(web page dumped and removed due to legal issues)

Now, you may go there, read the solution to the problem, and download screenshots to believe that it works and is better than any other workaround!!

No buddy, no DMZ.

Nobody is creating any fuss. As to why I can't post the solution here, there is a reason behind it 🙂

"http://airtelbroadband.cjb.net/"Caution- the site when opened in IE asks to instal an activex control which puts in a number of spyware in your system, eg Sahagent, Salm.exe, MediaAcck.exe

great...

 

[agnivo007]

Seems we are subscribing spyware !Guys, tighten ur seat belts, install spybot S&D, dump IE and use FireFox/Opera before seeing the webserver to run on DSL. :lol:Sushubh I'm tolerant towards opera this time...

well its a gem of a software if you know how to fully utilize it 😉 firefox users think the same abt their choice of software. its a personal preference 🙂
