http://10.0.0.1

Because that used to return http://10.0.0.1:80 which would have been the port that filemaker was on which would have automatically redirected you to http://10.0.0.1/fmi/iwp

Now that you've installed apache (a web server) that has a default port of 80 (and rightfully so) it becomes the application located on port 80.

If you are on FileMaker server, then the hosting runs through http://10.0.0.1/fmi/iwp

591 is found in the documentation as it relates to a FileMaker Pro Solution being hosted for some reason I have assumed that you said you were on FileMaker Server, not Pro.

If you are on FileMaker Pro, you do not need any webserver what soever - There is one essentially in built in FM. If you are hosting through FileMaker Server then yes, you will need Apache.

In any case, neither of those two ports are open on the ip you've provided - Note that you may have a dynamic ip meaning that it could have changed since the last time you posted it in which case you have an entirely different issue (go to www.whatismyip.com again, and see if you are getting those same numbers).

I have turned off Apache Server if I don't need it.

http://121.221.3.87:591/fmi/iwp is supposed to be the address. I have just started it and should I be able to see this on my computer or do I have to be outside? I have no Internal network here.

[Genx]

Nah, you still haven't forwarded your port properly - have you been in your router yet?

And to see that address above you have to be outside your network.

[Juniper]

No, I assume you mean my BigPond 2Wire Modem 2071a. I did not know that port forwarding was about the Modem so I will try to find out how to do this.

Lol is that USB modem by any chance -- does it look like a router?

Yeh, well in any case, if it is a router, you're gonna have to pull out your instruction manual and do some googling on port forwarding. If its not a router in you have it directly connected to your pc via a usb cable or something, then you probably have a software firewall of some sort that comes packaged with mac looking after your port blocking - in which case i know nothing about mac networking so you should probably google.

[Juniper]

I honestly know nothing about Internet and routers modems etc. I do know Java, SQL, MS Access.

It is connected via ethernet cable not usb

Lol, okay seriously. Hunt down the manual - find the version number. Google port forwarding for it.

[Juniper]

I have a Residential Gateway

ie

all in one box: wireless, modem, router, VoIP, and firewall.

So I will have to do a lot of google to find the problem

No, just SEARCH PORT FORWARDING ...

Seriously, I can't tell you how to do it with every model - because its specific to every model and brand.

Search: MyModelNumber Port Forwarding

You're not going to get this thing to work by avoiding the issue...

[Vaughan]

Setting up port forwarding usually involves chatting with the box and changing some settings: these days the routers all have http servers in them and their configs are set through a web browser interface.

[Juniper]

Ok I will load cd that came with the gateway/modem/router

and if im not in this forum for several weeks , you will know that I have disconnected myself from the internet by new settings

Here Goes ..... wooooooo

Wow! This is a good little tennis match! In today's day and age, you can say that EVERYthing has to do with security. The intended development of a technology and its current practical uses are two different ball games. I wonder what IPv6 will do to all this. For security reasons, you probably will still have NAT and private IPs and multiple subnets even though technically, each device can have its own static IP- including that filemaker database. But NAT, subnets, etc, are really just ways to expand the scope (and manage traffic) of machines on an network that is finite.

Are signs on the road for safety or instruction?

Hi Genix, can you try this agin please http://121.221.3.87/fmi/iwp

[erussell]

New to IWP and probably an advanced beginner FMPro 8 .... My problem is not dissimilar: I can see FMPro db in browser locally but cannot access from outside. Details: FMPro 8 database running within Windows XP within Parallels on a Mac OSX. Able to view db in a windows or mac broswer on same machine using internal ip. Have used whatismyip to determine a fixed ip. Have tried to access from outside "fixedp"/fmi/iwp/ . Doesn't connect. Using Zone Alarm and have turned it off to attempt access without success. Whatismy ip shows same ip address whether Zone Alarm on or off. Router airport extreme. Help [email protected]
