What needs to be done to let a computer from a domain act as a Server out the web?

am 27.07.2006 00:05:49 von mafu0

Hello,
It=B4s kinda a newbie question.

My computer is in a domain in my company which communicates to the
server with a firewall.
Doing some tests with free services in internet, i found the basic
opened ports, for example ports 21, 80. But the server is not acting as
web server (80) neither a ftp server(21).

What should i do to set up my computer as a web server for example? Is
that possible?
Actually, another intention of mine is to leave a CVS server in my
computer, to let me work with the company files directly from home.

Thanks a lot in advance for any info about that.
Marcel

Problem is outside requests (from outside the Local LAN) wont know where
to go. Your going to need to talk to whoever runs the firewall and
explain what your trying to do so the necessary ports can be
opened/forwarded.

If you do figure out how to do this by asking questions in newsgroups
and/or general web research, you'll probably be out of a job.

If your company wants you to be able to access files on its LAN from
outside, its IT department will set up an appropriate and secure method
for you -- ask them.

Hi Marcel,

My understanding is that U want to make your computer like a server, so
that U can access that from outside ur company network. i.e. through
internet.

In this case,

1 U should register ur machine with a unique DNS name.
2 Any request comes to that DNS will be resolved to ur server machine.
3 The machine should be in DMZ. (De-militerised zone - common
authority)
4 I believe one DNS can only resolve to one port.
5 Suppose if a web server runs on ur machine.
6 For example: My.domain.com:2000
7 U can register the above host and ip for one DNS name.
8 Then this web server will be accessible through internet.

Is that make sense?

Regards,
Ran...

Hello, Thanks a lot for all the support.

Actually, i was just wondering if i could set up my computer as a CVS
server outside the network without making changes to the server.
Ok, not possible.
I=B4ve already contacted the IT department.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks again.
