Hi all, I'm having a problem, i'm setting up a server on my home PC to use it as a test server and an ftp server, I'm connecting to the internet through a router, my IP is static, i tried to forward the ports and also use DMZ, but i just can't get to the computer, if i try local with the local IP it works perfect and when i try from the internet through the IP i get the admin page of the router. I really don't know what to do, I hope someone can help me with this. Thank you in advance

With most home routers you can't "loopback" to your own internet IP address, you'll just end up hitting your router.
