running server from behind a router

Archived from groups: alt.apache.configuration,alt.comp.networking.connectivity,alt.comp.networking.routers (More info?)

My configuration is :
win XP home
running apache 2.0.43, PHP 4,
web server running on port 80
Billion 5100 - 4 port router/DSL modem running on port 88 at the moment

runs fine and is accessible from the outside world on my IP when I use an
ADSL modem ( no router or hub)

with the billion router attached (set not to run on port 80 so as to free
that port up) my server can not be accessed from the outside world, it is
accessible from within the LAN on http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ ,
http://localhost and http://computername

I know it has something to do with port forwarding but I don't know where to
start and what to configure in the router to accomplish this

if there is anyone who thinks they can help and want some screen shots of
the router admin interface I would be glad to send some to you..

thanks in advance

i tried all sorts of things but i didnt set up the NIC on my computer
correctly - as it turnes out it wasnt to do with the actual router
thanks again

i have managed to get it running

and setup the dns etc

however if i goto domain.com from within the lan i cant see the page - if i
goto localhost or private ip i can see it ok

from the outside workld it i saccessable on tha domain.com or dedicated IP


why cant i see it from within the lan by going to http://domain.com ???

i have forwarded port 80 to my internal ip thats what i needed to do to get
it going so far

Thanks

however if someone goes to my domain name

most adsl routers don't let your external request ie: http://domain.com/
work, as it treats you as a 'local internal connection' you could put
domain.com into your hosts file and map into the LAN ip address of the
server
