I have enabled only 'FTP' and 'Up and downloads'. I can access web-admin locally, but from the remote location I can only access the server using FTP or SSH - not using the web-interface.
Port forwarding through the router is according to the manual: [20-21: TCP], [22: TCP+UDP], [80: TCP] and [443: TCP].
Should I, for web access, open more ports? or enable more services?

This is strange, opening port 80 should do it. When you try to access http://your-external-ip/web-admin/, what gives? A 404 error?

You could also try: https://your-external-ip/web-admin/ since you have opened port 443.

If it doesn't work, I think it has to be your router that's messing things up...

Problem solved. The Excito documentation is not correct: ports 80 and 443 should have both the TCP and the UDP protocol enabled.

Even more strange. I only have TCP open for port 80 and it works fine. HTTP only uses TCP to my knowledge, opening or closing for UDP should make no difference.

If there is something we have missed here, can someone please let us know so we get the documentation right? If not, I guess it has to be your router that's buggy...

I found the port information in the Linksys documentation for the WRT54GL router - appendix A, point 6: "I need to set up a server behind my Router and make it available to the public."

Only open port 80 for TCP should work.
UDP is for DNS.
But then again I have an Asus router.
Maybe it is a Linksys thing.
Who also has Linksys router ?
