I have a linksys router, and I was trying to get a test server up and running at home. I can access it from other computers on my home network, but got a password when I tried to get to it by http or ftp from outside of it.

Say my ip is 64.xxx.xxx.xxx, and the network ip for the server (can't think of the real term) is 192.168.1.102, is there a way I could get around it, or would I just have to open up some ports through the router....which I'd rather not have to do, because my parents aren't too keen on letting me run a webserver out of the house. Anybody know some ports that are not blocked by default?

First just saying you have a linksys router is not enough information. (like saying I have a ford can some one help me with the carb. Well not all fords have carbs. )

Ok. Why you don’t look this up your self is strange. I don’t think you understand the anatomy of routing. But by default, your ports are not “blocked”. It is the effect of router, the NAT that the ports at the external IP of the router are not your computer. You can get around it, with a third party host service. Ok if you are running a web server that is going to have a great amount of traffic, then your ISP, your family (if they use the computer) will notice. If you are running a web server that is not going to have much traffic then you likely can get a free host.
If you are just running a web server then you know all you need to do is forward port 80 to your IP machine. If you do not want to do that you can just make your machine the DMZ host, or set it as the all time external machine. If you think your family is savvy enough to understand that you have changed the router, you could open another port and then configure your web server similarly.
If you were really serious about wanting to keep your family from understanding that you are hosting a web site, and say they often go in to the router to look at it, then you can but your computer (if its host a web site, then it will be on all the time) between the web and your router, and feed the router off your machine after you have owned up the port you want your web site to be on, but that is extreme.

You're right,i wasn't sure what exactly was going on with the router, but I just spent some time figuring out what was going on. I had found a list of common ports, and I'd gotten it forwarded. What port would MySQL use?

All I had to do was use the default password. While I was at it, I changed the password. Anyone could have parked outside and taken over the thing.

Tomorrow, I'm going to add a WEP password to it. Might as well......

I found the whole thing to be really simple, I just had to go searching on the linksys site.

My fam is more concerned about me fucking up the router, and didn't want me screwing with it. They probably wouldn't have minded too much, but it's always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

MySQL server I believe uses port 3306.

Isn't MySQL something you just want to bind to localhost, for security reasons? Unless you're using multiple machines to put together a database application, although even then you'd probably want encrypted tunnels linking each machine.

ummm......i'm not all that good with the stuff, and it's just going to be for stupid shit anyway (mostly learning how to use the stuff), so I'm not all that concerned with security.

Worst that could happen would be somebody takes over my computer....I pop in the cd, reformat, and go about my own business again.
