Hi guys, I have spent all day trying to set up port forwarding so my web server can be accessible from the internet. I have a D-Link 524 router and after following all the directions for setting up port forwarding, surprisingly it didn't work. I have already set up a static local ip for my mac server (192.168.0.100) and have already set up all the port forwarding. For some reason, under the "Status" category in the D-Link's settings, it says that my public ip provided from my isp is 192.168.250.170, which I am sure it is obviously not, for whatismyipaddress.com tells me that it is 70.103.20.179. To try to fix this, I tried to change my dynamic WAN ip to static and then change the provided public ip to the 70.103.20.179 one. Unfortunately, this did not work because the ISP Gateway Address was obviously a different domain than the public ip.
So, what do you guys think is wrong? How can I fix this?
By the way I use XAMPP if it matters.
