I have an Intranet server that is also visible via the Intranet (although it requires a login to access it). On the Intranet server I have links to a couple of other Linux servers which are only accessible on the internal network. From within the network all the links work fine. But when accessing the Intranet server from outside the network, these links don't work.

Here's one example:

<center><p>Upcoming Video/Tele Conferences</p>
<br>
<iframe src="http://192.168.0.19/WebCalendar/upcoming2.php" height="120"
scrolling="yes" width="300"></iframe>

The frame displays perfectly, but when accessing from outside the network, there's nothing in it except maybe a 404 message (can't remember).

The question is, can I and how do I get this information to display when accessing from outside the network?

You build the pages completely on the accessible server using PHP includes.

That's an interesting idea! Let me complicate it a little (maybe). The webpages involved also utilized MySql databases located on their respective servers. Am I going to run into the same issue with addressability or since it's machine-to-machine communication will it work OK?

Should work fine.
