Hi,
I just switched from Verizon DSL to their FIOS. I had a simple intranet with the server (my Linux workstation) physically connected to our client desktop (Windows 7). They *were* physically connected via a direct ethernet cable.
Where the old DSL router (Netgear) was connected via a phone line, the new FIOS router uses the ethernet connection (on the client, Windows 7 workstation).
So, since there was no longer the ethernet port available (because the new FIOS router has taken it), I plugged the server (the Linux workstation) ethernet cable into one of the new FIOS router's ethernet connections.
Problem is (I think), the router is not allowing the server access.
2 points:
1. The internet *is* available through my Linux workstation (via the new FIOS installation).
Just not my intranet connectivity.
2. When I try to go to my Apache homepage (over on the server) - it just loads and loads and loads and finally times out. with this:
The connection has timed out
The server at morrows is taking too long to respond.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
So how do I tell my new FIOS router to let my Linux server in?
(I tried all I could through the vz-in home agent.)
tia, matt
