As a newbie to this forum,

I've followed this thread carefully but obviously not enough to get what I want resolved. Before Sky I was hosting a web site on my Mac, OS 10.4.9, using a Linksys WAG354G and port forwarding. No problems. I had several other systems both WinXP and OS X also connected wirelessly with the Linksys.
Come Sky activation I had thought this will be easy - select an HTTP Port 80 service and forward to the Mac acting as a server (192.168.0.n). But no joy when trying to access the web site using the domain name as it displays a panel asking for the router user id and password. Must be something else to be done but for the life of me I just cannot see what it can be.
Is it me? Something hidden I should be aware of? Misread all the threads on port forwarding problems? Some dastardly deed by Sky? Shouldn't it be a doddle?
