Ok I have one mchine which I run winxp on and it connects to the web via adsl. I run it as an ftp server but also have a web page running on the webserver which I can access as http://machine1_name and the default web page displays.

I have another machine connected to this via ethernet which I can connect to via machine1 as http://machine2_name and the default web page of machine2_name displays - all good so far

I can view machine1_name via the internet as I am running a dynamic dns update client no-ip.org but how do I view machine2_name via the internet or rather via the internet via machine1_name?

I imagined it would be something like

http://machine1_name/machine2_name but obviously not:confused:

Any advice appreciated

You can't, at least not straight off. I can think of two ways:

1. Put machine2 on another port (say 81 or 20080 or so) and forward it to machine2 in machine1. That way http://machine1:81 would point to machine2.

2. Make a virtual directory on the machine1 webserver. Call it whatever you want (machine2?) and point it to the folder containing the www root on machine2. Then http://machine1/machine2 would point to machine2. This also means you can turn off the webserver on machine2 as it isn't used.
 
How do I forward port ?

Happy with the second option but how do I set up machine 2 so that any activity on port 81 forwards straight to machine 2 port 81?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
