Hi Marty,
yeah have done that.

but it does not change the fact both virtual machines are listening on port 80 and the router is not telling owncloud 192.168.1.88 to listen on port 81. There is nowhere in the router config to allow you to enter anything other than just the ip address. i.e. you can't enter 192.168.1.88:81

In your example if I could add 192.168.1.88:81, then yes the problem would probably be solved. Am I right in thinking that on other routers you can configure the router to redirect as below:

outside request to router:81 = 192.168.1.88:81 = 192.168.1.88

thanks again....

That is no problem and has nothing to do with port forwarding...

and the router is not telling owncloud 192.168.1.88 to listen on port 81.
Which would be a) complete nonsens and b) ab-so-lute-ly not necessary.

outside request to router:81 = 192.168.1.88:81 = 192.168.1.88

Yes. On each and every router I have ever seen you can freely choose which external port you want forwarded to which port on an internal IP. The guide to which I linked in my last post explained it more or less...

Perhaps your router is crippled to not let you do this?
Try this, create the following two rules:

Forward external port 80 to internal port 80

Forward external port 81 to internal port 80

You then assign one rule to VM1 and the other one to VM2 - that's all and you should be set.

If this does not work, please ask a random network admin.
It should be a matter of minutes to set this up, at least if it is possible with your router.

Marty, thanks so much. Works a treat. Like a lemming I have always put in there 80 to 80, xxx to xxx. Like most of this stuff it is so obvious after it is pointed out to you!! Even after 30 odd years self taught at this lark, you never stop learning. thanks again. Neil

Glad it works
