Hi there


Basically, I have set up my router to forward port 80 to a machine on my network which is acting as a web server.

I have a website set up with a phpBB forum, which automatically directly links to exact positions (eg, www.boshty.co.nr/link) on your domain name.

This is all very well, but when I connect to www.boshty.co.nr (which is my domain name) it just gives me my router setup screen.

What can I do?

Thanks
Alex
 
Its working fine from the WAN side. Some routers don't allow your own website in that fashion as it gets a request on port 80 from the LAN side and shows the router config. Can you change the port number of the configuration pages. I know a lot of netgears have this firmware problem. What router do you have?
