Running Moodle Behind A Masquerading Firewall
You may be running Moodle behind a Masquerading Firewall (using Network Address Translation or NAT). In this case your internal Moodle server will most likely be assigned a non-routable (private) IP address in one of the following ranges:
- 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
- 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
- 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
You can not use internal ip address or internal server name if you want to access the server from Internet too.

TODO: add explanation how to setup DNS in intranet so that the same name points to private address from intranet and public address from Internet. --Petr Škoda (škoďák) 12:49, 16 January 2007 (CST)
