Trying to get raspberry pi setup on road runner

[ericlp]

Well, here goes... I setup a Pi with apache2, php, sql and wordpress...

Works great on 192.162.1.105.... When I am home sitting on the couch, I can log into it and it's pretty snappy. I even setup noip ericlp.hopto.org and it works the same fast, from home.

The problem lies, when I go outside, say to a friends house and try to access it. It take forever to load. Apache is setup to listen to port 80 and port 8080 -- shieldsup says the ports are in stealth mode, and there aren't any true open ports.

So I made another domain ericlp151.hopto.org pointed to ISP IP X.X.X.X:8080 ...

I am running a router flashed with ddwrt... I first put the x.x.x.105 IP in the DMZ ... Then I took it out and port forwarded both 80 and 8080 ports. They have the same effect (slow), of course if I turn off dmz and port forwarding I get "unreachable" ...

Hmmmm, it's either, my router isn't configured correctly or Time Warner is blocking all ports. But if they are blocking all the ports, then wouldn't it not make a connection at all?

Dunno... Hopefully someone here has a clue...

I should note: that this is for testing purposes only. This is just to test out my own work, for me when I'm away... So, no, I'm not going to run a server for the masses, just for me and me alone.

I can provide any additional information needed. Thank you for any help.

Time Warner quite clever in their "Tricks" to disallow people braking the TOS.

Call them and find out how to use such setting.

You probably have DD-WRT's Remote Access setup like this?

 

[ericlp]

MXnerd... No.. I don't have remote web GUI access enabled... I really don't want anyone trying to access my router or me accessing my router from the outside. But, just in case, I'll turn it on to see if it makes any difference.

Update, so, I plugged in the Pi directly into the modem, Ran test my shields from the Pi, and it reports that port 80 is "RED" open.

So, now I'm thinking it's the Pie that isn't setup correctly... It works find on the local network, but it won't or takes an extremely long time (30 seconds) or more to connect from the outside of the firewall. Strange, I with thinking maybe port trigger or something weird setup with apache.

More testing to be done. 🙂

Setup port forwarding, yes "port trigger", but on the router.

edit: https://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Port_Forwarding

Use port 10987 for example...

externally you would hit: ericlp151.hopto.org:10987

setup a port forwarding rule to take any requests on port 10987 and forward to 192.162.1.105 on port 80 or 8080

The problem is the router doesn't know what to do with the traffic when it's from the outside.

It works internally because it's all behind the router.

edit: what router and what version dd-wrt are you using?
