deploying a simple html website with eclipse EE & tomcat 7 & router for pc not in LAN
- by hawkeye
Hello everyone and thanks for your time,
first of all - I want to make a note - I can see the website from my own pc
which is the only one connected to the (netgear dgn1000) router,
and I can do so with several browsers on my pc, but -
when I try and do a port forwarding so that I could access this simple html file
(which in the way would use a simple servlet class) I can't seem to view it
I have configured my router (both the "services" and the "firewall" sections),
and I have also changed my LAN properties according to my ISP's explanation (via phone) :
instead of choosing the "obtain an IP address automatically" I have chosen the
"use the following IP address,
with IP address of 10.0.0.1 (this was also set in the router's port forwarding),
Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0,
default gateway by checking the same value as seen in the cmd when executing the command
ipconfig /all
after doing so I've changed the DNS to use the address (just the preferred and not the alternate one) given with the ipconfig /all
and still - nothing :/
is it something in my network settings or in my deployment of the eclipse/tomcat ?
any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks :)
