Hi,
I'm having problem with setting up BBB server from my extenal IP and
looking forward to find the solution here. (:
Basically , I followed the FAQ steps,
http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/FAQ#Can_I_provide_externa...

Initially, the BBB server works correctly without problem with
my internal BBB IP addr : 192.168.0.104
Then, I tried to configure external access from a free DNS hostname
(no-ip.com)
as it maps the hostname to my extenal IP addr: 110.159.241.144
bbb-conf --setip myfyp.myftp.biz

Given that, I've forwarded necessary ports (80, 9123,1935) to my
internal IP address, and manually opened those ports with windows
firewall advance setting
I'm using D-Link model (DIR-615 and Firmware Version : 7.05),
the modem configuration can be viewed here
http://u.kaskus.us/33/3bz6gnby.png

This is what I got from 'ipconfig' of my windows cmd prompt
http://u2.kaskus.us/33/5xi8sc82.png
and 'ifconfig' from my VMWare
http://u2.kaskus.us/upload/do_upload (wonder why my given inet addr
from VMWare is different from IPv4 addr..)

Additionally, no problem was found when I did bbb-conf -c,
when i checked /etc/nginx/sites-available/bigbluebutton, the server
name is configured correctly as follows:
listen 80
server_name myfyp.myftp.biz
Found the String:
BigBlueButtonURL = "http://myfyp.myftp.biz/bigbluebutton/";
in /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/bigbluebutton/demo/bbb_api_conf.jsp

I looked through the /var/www/bigbluebutton/client/conf/config.xml
and
it seemed to have my domain name everywhere.
and I added a line in /etc/hosts -> 192.168.0.104 myfyp.myftp.biz

Basically, when I tried to access the domain name or extenal IP addr
from inet browser, I get directly to my D-LINK modem internet
configuration page, same as 192.168.0.1
however given my previous BBB server addr (192.168.0.104) gives me
the
"Welcome to nginx!"

I wonder what problem that causes me to be unable to access BBB
server
from outside the firewall.
I tried every solution in http://groups.google.com/group/bigbluebutton-setup/browse_thread/thre...
but it didnt do any better.
I did post this thread BigBlueButton-dev, and my problem still
unsolved just yet.

I'll be very thankful for any help.
