How to setup apache with dynamic IP behind a router/firewa..

Hey all,

I hope that question made sense. Just curious, I have the latest
version of apache setup on my RH9 system at home. My ISP has
allocated me a dynamic IP. On my router/firewall I redirected port 80
to a computer on my lan 192.168.0.3

I have a script which updates a webpage with my dynamic IP and I use
that to connect to my server at home.

I installed Gallery last night (opensource picture web management
software). I can get to the root window but my browser can't find any
of the pictures because its looking for 192.168.0.3. Obviously, it
won't find it.

Is there any way to configure Apache to handle this? I guess my only
other option would be to buy a domain name and setup an account with a
dynamic DNS provider.

Any suggestions? If you could cc my hotmail account it would be
greatly appreciate it. I'm at work and google news takes many hours
to update.

Thanks!

Your router isn't doing his job correctly. If he did you should see the
correct IP.

You can always use something like noip or dyndns that will associate
a domain name to your non-static ip and then use the domain name
instead of the ip, then configure apache to use the domain name
instead of the 192.168.0.x ip.
