Is your vicidialbox on the local network ie 192.168.1.2 or do access it via an ip on the net . You will need a static ip address in order to reach the box and you will have to update your ip address to the said static ip.

Yes i already have a static ip, the server has 2 Nics and it has a internam 192.168 and an external 77.101 addresses. this means i should be able to just type the external address into the browser right? I want to be able to just view the admin.php pages on the home computer but the address i use to reach the pages inside my network is 192.168.1.2/vicidial/admin.php

Try yourserverip 77.01/vicidial/admin.php

If no good .Check if your server is behind a firewall or iptables and ensure you add the bosses ip address at home to the white / allowed list

static ip is not a requirement.

but if your boss's ip address changes and you have allowed the previous ip through the yast firewall, you'll need to change the yast firewall to allow his new ip address.

Code: Select all

yast firewall

in the left pane, at the bottom, is a "custom" area in which you can allow specific ip addresses access to tcp or udp ports. web (http) is tcp port 80. so allow his ip address access to tcp (and remove his old ip if it is still in there).
