An example of working port-forwarding configuration¶

(by Brian J. Gibbens)¶

For those interested, this is how I set up Leginon on the TF20 in the
Kornberg lab at Stanford with the following configuration:

1. TECNAI_COMPUTER (Windows XP) not connected to network, but connected
   directly to Tecnai F20 and to
   TF20SUPPORT_COMPUTER (Windows XP) through two separate routers. Static
   IP addresses on all routers.
2. TF20SUPPORT_COMPUTER connected to network, and set up as a gateway
   for the TECNAI_COMPUTER through a directly connected separate router.
   Gateway setting (IP address of the TF20SUPPORT_COMPUTER) was added to
   the TCP/IP settings on the router on the TECNAI_COMPUTER that connects
   to the TF20SUPPORT_COMPUTER.
3. WEBSERVER_DATABASE_COMPUTER (Suse 11.1 Linux) with MySQL, PHP, and
   Samba share for drive mapping on PC's. Connects to TF20SUPPORT_COMPUTER
   through network.

--Norton firewall settings on TF20SUPPORT_COMPUTER configured to allow
communication to both '1' and '3'.

--Appropriate IP addresses and hostnames added to the hosts files
(C:/WINDOWS/System32/drivers/etc/hosts.txt on Windows PC's and
/etc/hosts on Linux). '2' and '3' listed in hosts file on '1'; '1' and
'3' listed in hosts file on '2'; and '2' only listed in hosts file on
'3' since all communication from '1' to '3' through '2' will appear to
come from '2'.

--Program for port forwarding (AUTAPF) installed on TF20SUPPORT_COMPUTER
and set up to forward all appropriate ports to IP address of the router
on TECNAI_COMPUTER that connects to TF20SUPPORT_COMPUTER.
