[users@httpd] connection refused
I am running apache 2.0 on a redhat linux 3.XX dell server. I have the
webserver up and running and can access web pages from my local net but
external access does not work. I get the connection was refused when
trying to connect to IP address Port.
I have a dynamic ip address and port 80 is blocked. I have set my dell
true mobile wireless router to forward all http to my 192.168.2.X using
port 81. I have enabled port 81 in my services file. I have set the
apache httpd.conf to listen to port 80-81 and 8080.
My router is forwarding requests because I have also enables telnet and
can access my server from external locations.
Any suggestions?
Help is greatly appreciated and thank you before hand.

Tony,
When I telnet to the box using port 81, I get a method not implemented:
501 error. Any thoughts?
Also, when I get the dynamic web server working, I will disable external
telnet. Because I have not used linux/unix in 10 years, I have a lot
of catching up on some things.

Can you telnet into port 81 from the outside and get a response? I
usually just do a "Get index.html" just to see if I get an error.

Yes, stop using telnet on the Internet and use SSH. ;-) If you've got
external telnet enabled on your router, you're an open book to even
the worst of the script-kiddies. If your router doesn't support
direct SSH, then enable SSH on an internal machine, and have the
router forward it back to that machine. Once you've SSHed into an
internal machine, you can telnet in to the internal IP of your router
over your internal wire, which'll be a little more secure.

Check your firewall. Usually they default to "block all in" then have
rules to make exceptions for ports 80, 22, 23 and so on. Your firewall
may be blocking port 81. Also most consumer routers in use today have
firewalls built in. Make sure the router's firewall isn't blocking port
81. Finally, I had a problem with a DSL modem supplied in connection
with MSN. It also had a firewall which blocked just about everything
incoming.
