By typing in my own IP address, should I bet getting my router page? I have a website set up at my Ip address and when I put that number into my address bar inside my network, I get the router configuration page. Outside of the network, I get my website. I do not think this should be so, but do not know how to fix it.

Thanks

your default gateway ip should bring up the router page, your computers personal ip should be different than that.

Ok, I have a server on 192.168.2.XX. When i type that address into the bar I get the router config page, which apparently I should not get. How do I fix this problem so I can see the website inside my network as well as outside?

[Dezaras]

without knowing what the XX is, it's hard to help. please post the results of an ipconfig /all back here. I also hard a hard time believing that if i were to type in the ip address you are referring to from outside your network, i would see your website.

192.168.2.26 is the ip address and that should give you the website home page

[Dezaras]

what i'm trying to say is, that ip address is only on your internal network, noone typing that into a browser outside your network is going to see any website that way

[parttimetechie]

ah right 72.129.63.63 should be the external address. Apparently my router is not passing through to the website in my local network.

[Dezaras]

that does pull up the website

In order to use the public IP address inside your network, the router has to have NAT loopback capability.

[parttimetechie]

Is there any way to determine if mine does, or it would do it automatically if it did? Its not something I would need to turn on is it?

I saw this forum online about it and now am wondering if I need the NAT loopback. I am trying to access the site by IP address, so would that be my LAN IP address like they talk about here?

I also came across this article online, but sadly the guide they talk about has been taken down.

What DNS would I need for the 72.129.63.63 address? If I got the "inside to inside NAT" working, would that allow me to see my website inside my server?

[JohnWill]

If you are attempting to access your server from inside the local network, use the local address. If that doesn't work, there's some other issue.

[parttimetechie]

The local address would be 192.168.2.26? Or would it be something else?

[JohnWill]

Yes, the local address would be the IP address of the Apache server machine.
