Equipment:
Linksys E2000 Router
WD My Book Live

I've set up a small website via Windows Server 2012 R2. All IIS and DNS configs are correct.

I have the My Book Live connected to the Linksys E2000 via ethernet. Port forwarding is properly set port 80 for site and port 21 for ftp.

The problem: As long as My Book Live is connected to the router, the public ip that should take me to the site, takes me to the log in of My Book Live.

If I disconnect My Book Live and do a total refresh, I can access the site via the public ip address.

Any thought on why the router is defaulting to My Book Live log in versus following the port instructions?

It could be that UPnP is interfering with your port forward settings. You may need to disable UPnP on the MyBook.

Thanks BuddahSkoot!

You suggestion may have done it. A slight variation: I disabled the UPnP on router. Now the Public IP goes directly to the site.

Thanks, again.
