Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Failure to connect to AOLServer from another PC

I too am struggling (and learning!) through this configuration fun house. 😉

I saw the original thread and made the config file change and am able to get the server using the internal network address, from another machine, but not from the outside world. I am pretty sure my problem is either with my RH firewall config, since I cannot get to SSH (installed using Gilbert Wong's excellent instructions at http://www.orchardlabs.com/articles/home.acs ) from the outside world either. I can from my other computer here on the internal network.

I'm pretty sure that the problem is not my router config because I fired up AOLserver 3.2 on my win 98 box and am able to get to it from the outside world.

I think that only leaves me with the firewall... which is the default, set for high, but allowing holes for SSH & WWW.

I think my next step is to backup my firewall settings and then delete them all and see if it works then.

Anyone else experienced with RH 7.1 have a suggestion?
