Hi,
I have just set up a R6 server on RedHat 7.3, it seems to work fine, everything is good inside the network (192.168 network). There is a dsl connection to the site, which i’m putting port forwarding to the port 80, 25 and 1352. Seems SMTP works fine but HTTP and Notes act really funky. I have done this before (number of times) with NT/2000 machines and Linksys routers and generally it works very well. I can get a connection to the router, and the domino sever responds (for about 2 seconds) then data stops coming out of it and just hangs.
Portscanning the IP, all the services are shown, using telnet to connect to port 80 seems to give me bad requests (400) on everything I try and type in. I don’t think I have a domino config problem as this all works inside the network, it’s just translating it outside. The dsl is on a static IP (normally I have used dynamic, with a dns client, which works fine).
Anyone else seen this problem before on linux?? It’s driving me nuts…
thanks

Check here first: Red Hat Product Documentation
If that’s not the problem, then what happens when you take the LinkSys router out of the equation? Is your service provider blocking port 80?

I have a few questions:Are you able to go to port 80 or 1352 within your local LAN? If you get good results, then I would say that port forwarding could have a few difficulties.
I, also, wonder if your domino domlog.nsf shows any requests? (I am thinking no since you said you could not telnet to the box).
When the webserver was configured did you tell it was a virtual server for your external ip address (the address of your linksys)? or is your host name resolving to the external (dmz) internet address?
I have a SNAPGEAR (http://www.snapgear.com) firewall and I can connect via port 1352 since it is port forwarding to my domino server and I had the similar problems with port 80.
Hope it gives some ideas of what to look at.
Feel free to email me directly (the address is in my profile).
Cheers.

Thanks for everyone’s response.
It was of all things the MTU on the router. Seems the ISP has some really funky weird settings, after playing around with it for about 2 hrs, we droped the MTU to 1412 from 1492 and everything just started to work properly!!
oddest thing I have seen I a while.
