Can't “wget” from my home Debian Lenny server! But the ports are opened!

Question

I have a very strange problem for me. In this example dns and IP is hiden for security reason. When I try from putty manager to connect to my Debian and write next command:

    debian:~# wget http://myhost.no-ip.org:1082/archive.tar
--2011-04-03 03:35:27--  http://myhost.no-ip.org:1082/archive.tar
Resolving myhost.no-ip.org... xx.10x.66.xxx
Connecting to myhost.no-ip.org|xx.10x.66.xxx|:1082... failed: Connection timed out.
Retrying.

--2011-04-03 03:38:42--  (try: 2)  http://myhost.no-ip.org:1082/cccam.tar
Connecting to myhost.no-ip.org|xx.10x.66.xxx|:1082... failed: Connection timed out.
Retrying.

..I can't connect to my Debian server! This message stay till I press ctrl+z.

But when I try to wget any other site it working! Very strange thing is when I type:

http://myhost.no-ip.org:1082/archive.tar

command in my firefox web browser the file is reachable and download is strated. So, my port is open. Am I right? What can be the problem? Here is my config from networking :

debian:~# cat /etc/networking/interfaces
cat: /etc/networking/interfaces: No such file or directory
debian:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
### The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

###The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth1
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.50.111
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.50.255
gateway 192.168.50.99
debian:~#

The archive.tar file is putted to /vat/www/archive.tar Local port 80 is forwared in my router to external port 1082 My no.ip dns address is vaild and reachable through firefox. Have someone any suggestion what coud be a problem? Thx.

Answer 1

The issue might be that your routing tables, or your ASDL router's, are being too clever, and a LAN-connection attempt to the external address is being re-written or routed to the machine internally. That is, your packets are not visiting the WAN.

That is an issue, because you are only listening on :1082 on your WAN, not your LAN.

Try adjusting your apache so that it listens on 1082. If the connection is being routed internal to the LAN, the connection is arriving to your server on port 1082.
