Can't Find My Home Directory..Continued

Here is where I am.

127.0.0.1 shows me the apache page
localhost shows me the apache page

my dyndns addresses show me my cable modem admin page

Now what do I have to configure in what file to
direct incoming to my home directory?

You have to disable your cable modem admin page.
If your cable modem is configured as a router, you have to
activate NAT routing for incoming requests on port 80 to the LAN
address of your PC.

Both can't be configured in any Apache configuration file.
Consult the manual of your cable modem. Look up every word in it
that you don't understand and enhance your knowledge about
networking. That time will be well spent.

A hint on using usenet/news: it would have been better to
follow-up my article in the first news thread you started,
instead of starting a new thread. That way the "..Continued" in
the subject would have been apparent from the thread structure.

Hope this helps.

Kees,

Thanks for both those tips.

I have gone through the manual for my modem several time and have not
yet found the way to turn the admin off.

I am using a Seimens 6520 supplied by my ISP and not at all as user
friendly as the Linksys.

It is a wireless modem/router but I am the only user. I know I am
getting close.

You're welcome.

Maybe you can change the port it is on? Apparently it is port 80
now, you could try to change that to 8080 or something.
Another method is to change the port Apache listens on from 80
to 8080.

I wouldn't know, I know neither of them.
Setting up a port for HTTP is in chapter 6 / Home Network /
Server Ports. I guess that would automatically disable the
webadmin on the WAN side.

There is also something about NAT routing in chapter 6 /
Security / Address Translation.
I refer to the 6500 series manual i found at:
