All outside access blocked [Resolved]

Help for v2
#1

I need access to my computer from outside, I host a site my friends and I play around on.

I have copied the below from the logs and was hoping some-one could confirm it is our attempt at an outside connection being blocked, and how to resolve it.

Thanks in advance.

Date/Time :2006-10-27 14:12:40Severity :MediumReporter :Network MonitorDescription: Inbound Policy Violation (Access Denied, IP = 202..., Port = http(80))Protocol: TCP IncomingSource: 202.124.114.24:1061 Destination: 202...:http(80) TCP Flags: SYN Reason: Network Control Rule ID = 5

You must add a TCP allow in rule for the port 80. Under the “network monitor”.Then move the rule up over the default block rule

#3

So that will be :
Action:Allow
Protocol:TCP
Destination:IN
Source IP:Any

Destination IP: ???(my IP)(Any)(exclude) ???

Source Port: Any

Destination Port: A single port (80)

What about out ??

I was told just the other day that rules for applications are separate (stand alone) from network rules.

Thanks for your help and advice

#4

The rule is the following

Action:Allow
Protocol:TCP
Destination:IN
Source IP:Any
Destination IP:Any (or your computer’s IP)
Source Port: Any
Destination Port: A single port (80)

for out you don’t have to add/modify anything.

Yes the rules for the apps are separate. Your application should be configured with the help of a popup the first time you run it. :wink:

It was configured with the help of a popup, thats why it has taken me 2 days to figure out why my web server wasn’t working.

Thanks for your help.

You are welcome. I guess the problem is solved
