On a Gentoo server,
I am trying to wget or curl a page from its url:
wget http://example.com/test.html
(I can get result for this url from my browser)
All I receive is Timeout.
With cUrl I get this error:
couldn't connect to host
So I tried to ping the server ip public IP
$ping EXTERNAL_IP
PING EXTERNAL_IP (EXTERNAL_IP) 56(84) bytes of data.
And no more output no problem with 'ping localhost'
< edit >
Details on My config:
The external IP is configured on the eth0 interface in the 'inet adr' section,
The DNS are hosted by the hosting provider, no on the server itself, but I have a Bind Server with correct record on the server (automatic configuration for this type of dedicated servers)
I am pinging on IP (numbers) not domain name (btw same problem with domain name)
< /edit >
Is there special conf to allow this to work ?

2Is the external IP assigned to an interface on the same machine? Or is something like NAT involved? – Daniel B – 2014-02-24T13:32:11.177
3WHich machine is internal? Are you using an IP or a domain name? Are you using a local host name? Please clarify. – terdon – 2014-02-24T13:51:32.173
1"Is there special conf to allow this to work?" Yes... Firewall for one. If NAT is involved, port forwarding. If you're not on a static IP, dynamic DNS. Oh, and DNS. Do you have the domain set up and do you have correct DNS records? The list goes on. You need more detail. – Tanner Faulkner – 2014-02-24T15:38:03.013
