access_log showing only one ip address

[aneirin]

Current setup:
I'm running Apache 1.3.27 on Solaris 8 with a SMC router that forwards all web access (Port 80) to the Solaris server.

Problem I'm having:
I was checking my apache access_log a few days ago and found it reporting only one ip address in the client ip address section for all access.

The ip address showing is the cable modem's IP address.
No matter where I access it from, it logs the client ip address as the one on the cable modem. It used to report correct ip addresses and I'm not quite sure if I had made any changes that would've caused this.

I tried rebooting the server but the problem persists. Nothing on the router setting indicates that there's some feature I've set or unset.

I haven't been able to find a similar problem on the net via search engine.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, aneirin!

You running ipchains? If so, tell it to stop masquerading your source IP on incoming connections.

There was a thread in either here or Website Technology about a month ago on this, too.

Thanks for your quick reply, jd. But I'm not running ipchains

then you're using iptables or other stuff to forward port 80 to the host inside your LAN.
the problem is not in apache server.

It seems like the router was the problem. my SMC Broadband router 7004ABR is not forwarding the client ip address. I tested with a Linksys router and it was forwarding them correctly.
