Port Forwarding Problems

[kateus]

I am trying to set up a server on an old 1998 Compaq desktop, now running Debian, and so far the software is working fine, but am having some trouble getting my router configure so that computers outside of my LAN can access it. My router has one IP address that all the local address use, and I have tried to forward port 80 for http and port 22 for ssh, and I still can't access either from outside the LAN. Also the sites that check for open ports say that both of those ports are still closed. Any ideas of what I could do to fix this. Have googled for days with no avail.

Thanks.

Do you have the instruction manual for your router? If not, you
can probably find it on the net. Depending on the brand and model,
port forwarding may be called by various names, and the config
can be confusing.

Well I have done that much, I think. Here's a screenshot of my router port forwarding page. This is what I have tried, and what I've read should work, but it still doesn't seem to let anything through.

If you can see that, I don't know how to make it bigger

Like I have the ports supposedly forwarded in the router, just nothing seems to think they are actually open...

Sorry I cannot read the picture you attached. Do you have a firewall running on the system?
What router are you using? Make and model please.

Run a scan on the router, too, to see if the ports themselves have actually been opened, e.g.:

nmap -n <ROUTER_IP_ADDRESS>

I am not sure if the system has a firewall, I installed Debian off there small install disk and included features such as a web server and mail server and such, I looked to see if it had a default firewall but didn't find much. I am using a Linksys E10000 router.

Here's the result of the nmap command run from the server using the ip address my router says is assigned to it.

Starting Nmap 5.00 at 2011-09-23 15:14 CDT
Interesting ports on <ip address>:
Not shown: 997 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open ssh
80/tcp open http
8080/tcp open http-proxy

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 1.23 seconds

Hi kateus
I was wondering if you managed to fix this issue and if you did what was the fix.

I've got a similar issue trying to make my Linux server available from outside my Network, the annoying thing is if I port forward to a PC it works fine.
I have a BTHomeHub and I'm running Fedora 15 with Tomcat6 which is viewable from the internal IP 192.etc etc.

Any help would be much appreciated
