PLease replace IP1 or IP2 with the IP assigned from my ISP and I find it via the "whatismyip" webpage and the IP that I see with the ifconfig command /etho or wlan

Well, iptables is not my strong side, as in AIX there is a different packet filtering software. At first glance this seems right, but maybe someone else with more experience than me can fill out the gaps here?

Quite correct. The IP you see when you query your own IP over the internet is the "outside" interface of your router/modem (sometimes these are two different boxes, sometimes this is bound into one). It is this address by which your web server will be known outside. Notice, though, that the IP address will likely change with every dial-up you do. Therefore, if you configure an IP address into these rules you will have to change that whenever the connection is (re-)established. You should prepare a script for that therefore, maybe you can trigger its execution even, making the thing as "automatic" as it can get.

By the way, before you try to operate your framework: have even tried to contact the "naked" web server from outside? Has it worked? If not, what was the error code?

I hope this helps.

Test::Unit(3pm) 					User Contributed Perl Documentation					   Test::Unit(3pm)

NAME

       Test::Unit - the PerlUnit testing framework

SYNOPSIS

       This package provides only the project version number, copyright texts, and a framework overview in POD format.

DESCRIPTION

       This framework is intended to support unit testing in an object-oriented development paradigm (with support for inheritance of tests etc.)
       and is derived from the JUnit testing framework for Java by Kent Beck and Erich Gamma.  To start learning how to use this framework, see
       Test::Unit::TestCase and Test::Unit::TestSuite.	(There will also eventually be a tutorial in Test::Unit::Tutorial.

       However "Test::Unit::Procedural" is the procedural style interface to a sophisticated unit testing framework for Perl that .  Test::Unit is
       intended to provide a simpler interface to the framework that is more suitable for use in a scripting style environment.  Therefore,
       Test::Unit does not provide much support for an object-oriented approach to unit testing.
