Hey all. Got a couple questions for you smoothwall and apache guru's..

I am playing around with setting up my web server behind my smoothwall,
but I had a couple questions pop up - one has to do with smoothwall port
forwarding issue, and the other has to do with apache (or maybe it's a
port-forwarding issue as well, i'm not sure)

1st) I have port forwarding going from my red interface (gci cable
modem) to my green interface and then through a hub to my laptop, which
is running apache. From outside the internal network I can access my
site by going to the 24.237.x.x ip, and the connection gets forwarded
and all fine. But when I'm trying to connect from inside my network, I
have to go to 192.168.1.51, which is the IP assigned to me by
smoothwall. Is there some way I can get set up so I can access my site
from inside the green network by going to the 24.237.x.x ip?

2nd) When I go to my site, instead of opening up index.html in the web
browser it asks be to save it to the hard drive. I've tried Netscape,
Konquorer on my computer, IE on another computer, lynx from UAA, and I
had a friend in Idaho try it and they all do the same thing, so I'm
guessing it's something with apache being set up wrong, instead of a
browser issue. Although I think it might have to do with smoothwall's
port forwarding messing something up. I am using SuSE 7.3's default
configuration, with the exception of the host address and such changed.
  If you want to try it for yourself, the ip is 24.237.9.180..

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Justin
