RV082 Router - Need help setting up public access to web server

arthurfrayn · ‎01-13-2011

I'm stuck. I have a new (linksys/cisco) RV082 Router that I have just set up and everything is working except that I can't configure it to allow public access to our web server. I have tried configuring port forwarding under the Forwarding and UPnP menus and still no access from the outside. I have tried accessing it from the outside using both the URL and the IP address and still no access. I have checked with my ISP and no ports are being blocked from their end. I can ping my public static IP from the outside with no problem. The documentation that I've found for this router refers to a menu that is different from the menu of this router and refers to an Applications & Gaming menu which isn't there, but it seems like the port forwarding should handle this.

I have a static public IP, a static internal IP for the server. I have set the port forwarding and UpNP to point to the IP of the server using port 80 and a secondary forward to port 8080. There are no issues accessing the website from within the LAN.

Does anyone have any suggestion or know of any usable documentation that might help me resolve this?

Chip,

Do you have Remote Management enable? Remote Management uses port 80 by default. If you are using port 80 also for your web server that could be the issue, you can change the port for remote management to something else. give that a try.

Hi Ccoral. Thanks for the info. I managed to get it resolved just a short while ago (with some great help from tech support). There were a couple of port conflicts as well as a strange configuration with the servers within the LAN.

Thanks!
