Re: problem with my webserver...

You need to disable remote management or alternatively change the port on which remote management is published. Your Webserver presumably uses port 80 (which is also the default port for the router) so if you change the remote access port to (for example) 8080 you can still access the router by using >http://my-ip:8080 but >http://my-ip/site will work as before.

The remote access settings are accessed on the Advanced / Remote Management tab of the router's web interface. If you don't want/need remote access to the router's web interface then you can turn it off by unchecking the "turn Remote Mangement on" checkbox.

You probably know this already but rather than having to know your router's external non-fixed IP address in order to access your webserver, you can use a free dyamic DNS service (dyndns.org) to give your webserver a proper address in the format of mysite.dyndns.org. If you have your own personal domain you can then redirect calls on port 80 to that address so that www.myname.co.uk is redirected to mysite.dyndns.org and then onto >http://mysite/site

Just use the Dynamic DNS page on the advanced tab of the routers interface having signed up for the free service.

Hope this is useful

Re: problem with my webserver...

Hi

You will not be able to view the site locally, ie by typing the IP into the bowser, as you are behind NAT, using the Sky router.

If you try on a neighbours connection you should connect fine. Make sure you forward port 80 to the PC's Internal IP - ie 192.168.0.3

Re: problem with my webserver...

Ahh - Was assuming you meant that you were seeing the router's interface when using a third party's connection to browse to your webserver. If you meant that you were browsing internally and could only see the router's interface on port 80 then Newsreader is of course correct. Thanks for setting me straight.

Re: problem with my webserver...

thanks for the help, but i have one problem, when i click on remote management, the checkbox is already unticked, and the values under it are frozen to port 80, i cant tick the box to edit it, as it appears to be locked...

Re: problem with my webserver...

As long as it is unticked, it is perfectly safe.

Have you forwarded the port 80 to your IP as I have just tried http://youripnumber/site and it is not working for me.
