Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Web site connection problem

Posted by Taka Chan on
Hi Jun,

Firstly, thanks for your help.  But my problem is not related to my AOLserver.  The main problem now is that my gateway machine is unreachable outside my home LAN, even ping returns "request timeout".

After testing, I think that the problem is due to routing issue of my home LAN.  At my home, there are 1 gateway/firewall, 1 web server, and 3 PCs.  Yesterday, I found out that when all of my 3 PC was being turned off, my gateway was unreachable from outside.  Strangely, when I turned on any one of the PCs, my gateway was reachable again from machines outside my gateway/firewall.

Then I suspect that my problem is related to the routing policy of my gateway, am I right?  If so, what can I do?  Thanks in advance.
