How to Allow Outside Access to Network

wtung · 02-26-2009, 01:21 AM

Hello,

I have a home network with a Linksys WRT router. I have a computer on the network that I'm using as very general server (printer/file server, remote access, apache, etc..). What do I need to do to allow outside access to my server?

Thanks for reading.

You need to forward the ports required for whatever kind of server runs on the machine, i.e. web server, FTP server, etc.
