But only from within the LAN, right? How Luis is able to use a
non-routable IP from outside the LAN is a mystery to me.

I hope that's a typo. Do you really mean 10.0.2.210? If so, that's your
problem.

I host a site via an airport, though not an extreme. My DSL "modem" is set
to forward port 80 to 192.168.1.x, the internal IP of the cube, not the
airport's IP. Have you tried that? Presumably, when you connect the iBook
directly, your "modem" is set to the IP address of the iBook, right?

I set the cube to a static local IP address of 10.0.1.201, enabled web sharing, and installed the web site.  I checked it out by browsing 10.0.1.201, and the page displays just fine.  I set up the airport extreme for port mapping sending port 80 to local IP 10.0.1.201 port 80.  I also set the advanced settings to make 201 the default host.  I got nothing.  When I browse my static Ip address (207.213.217.244), it just times out.
>   So, I hooked up the network directly to my Ibook, and browsed my static IP address, and it works just fine.  So now I'm out of ideas.  I checked the httpd logs and I noticed that I get traffic from all of the usual data miners (looking for robots.txt), and some I think trying to plant worms, but I can't seem to get through.
>   I set the airport to send it's syslog to the cube, but it doesn't seem to make it.  Do I have to change some settings on the cube to accept it?  Where would the airport syslog show up?  Anybody have any ideas I could try?
