Did you forward port 80 from your router to your FreeBSD machine? Do you have a router at all? What type of internet connection do you have?

There is domain based LAN with 70 clients computers (secondary school). FreeBSD machine acts as domain controller (Samba), DNS, DHCP, WWW(Apache) server. I've made mentioned Win XP machine's IP static. Networks gateway is a bridge.

Do you have a DMZ?

No. It's solution?

How is your FreeBSD machine visible to the Internet?

Provider's NAT translates local IP of this machine to the external IP.

Did you forward port 80 from your router to your FreeBSD machine?

Yes. See above.

We have no router. There is a bridge which leads to the wireless internet connection (antenna).

Thanks for replies and suggestions

Yes. We are on educational network and NAT (not in my disposition) translates local address of mentioned FreeBSD machine to an real address. It is visible form the Internet.

I'm thinking about it and found IMHO two possibly right solutions.

1. To obtain the second real address and to translate local IP of Windows server to it.
2. To put a router (something like legacy PC with CoyoteLinux) between bridge (gateway of my LAN) and rest of the network. In this case I would have my own NAT.

It's not wrong?

Thanks for consulting
