I decided to take the plunge and buy myself the new Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server.
I have a NTT VH100 3 E N router/media box.
I also have an Airport Extreme.
I have a G5 tower connected to base station.
I am connecting the server to the base station via ethernet, then from the base station to the NTT box also via ethernet.
I am trying to configure the server initially to host my own websites and a small group for teachers.
The domain name provider over at bluehost.com has a place for me to enter a name server address, in fact they ask for two name server addresses.
I think I have found my static ip address and have tried to enter this to point to my server! 🙄
I think I have to get into the NTT box and configure port forwarding to the internal network ip for the server (10.0.0.1) ?
I have placed a simple html page and jpeg on the server in the correct place. I can access this page from my tower to the server by using an internal ip e.g. 10.0.0.2. I can find the page ok. When I try to enter my real web address to find the same page it doesn’t work.
The connection is getting a little closer, but I’m still miles away!
Q) How do I begin to set up my name servers, DNS, port forwarding etc.
SERVER > BASE STATION > NTT VH-100 > WEB!
Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
