hi again, im here asking for help on getting a website to be served via port 80 from a machine in the LAN network to the outside world...so this means packect coming from WAN to LAN

this my firewall.user settings:

### Port forwarding
iptables -t nat -A prerouting_rule -i $WAN -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.128.1.249
iptables        -A forwarding_rule -i $WAN -p tcp --dport 80 -d 192.168.1.249 -j ACCEPT

this, some processes running at my router:

  39 root        388 S   syslogd -C 16 
   44 root        348 S   klogd 
  427 root        408 S   udhcpc -i vlan1 -b -p /var/run/vlan1.pid -R 
  462 nobody      440 S   dnsmasq -l /tmp/dhcp.leases -K -F 192.168.1.100,192.168.1.250,255.255.255.0,12h -I vlan1 
  468 root        420 S   /usr/sbin/dropbear 
  473 root        392 S   httpd -p 80 -h /www -r WRT54G Router 
  474 root        304 S   telnetd -l /bin/login 
 1606 root        644 R   /usr/sbin/dropbear 
 1607 root        544 S   -ash 
 1772 root        384 R   ps -aux

i'm in big doubt about httpd -p 80 -h /www -r WRT54G Router  cause every time i make a request to http://8x.7x.1x9.x2/ i get the pages served from /www in the router but instead i shall be looking at the apache page that is installed in http://192.168.1.249/~alejood/ but no, is not working

the box that serves the website is on the route/gateway:

netstat -nr | grep default
default            192.168.1.1        UGSc       45      261    en0

I don't know what else to do, or look for, i was thinking that i had to stop httpd on the router httpd -p 80 -h /www -r WRT54G Router or flag -h to the local ip but it didnt worked, cause it tells me that 192.128.1.249 is not reachable, but indeed thats the address the box in the LAN is getting from white russian RC3. let me know what else or where else can i look. I dont want to change firmware now that im learning few things with openwrt, switching will be to RC5 when its ready.

thanks for any advice

one more thing to add, if i run nmap from the local machine to test the openwrt router i see this ports open:

22/tcp open  ssh
23/tcp open  telnet
53/tcp open  domain
80/tcp open  http

any advice greatly appreciated
