Network issue, can't see website from internal LAN


Recommended Posts

I am on a Netgear MR814 4 port LAN/Wireless hybrid.

I am running XP Pro w/ SP1 and using IIS as my current web server.

I have my WWW server running on port 88, since (if I recall corrently) Comcast blocks all port 80 traffic.

I have port 88 opened up on my router and set to my static internal IP (192.168.0.10).

Currently I can only view a web page or image on my local PC in the following format: http://192.168.0.10:88/index.html

I can't view anything at all using my domain as the address, for example http://www.blahblah.com/index.html or even my real world IP http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:88/html

However all my friends can view my website using my domain AND IP address. I have my DNS service set to translate my DNS into port 88 automatically so you don't have to type it in while entering the addy.

Anyways, basically the point is that I can only see pages when using my internal IP, and not my DNS or Real World IP. I can't even use 127.0.0.1 or localhost.

Do I have somethign setup wrong? Is there something I need to change?

Any help would be GREATLY and I do mean GREATLY appreciated!!

Thanks all!!!

thanks, I will look into the loopback function.

Anyone can ping it from the outside, in fact friends can hit it just fine. I just want to be able to see what I am working on w/ Dreamweaver, etc...

And there's no way to enable loopback or add the functionality if its not natively supported? Is it anything that can be solved in future revs of the firmware?

Anybody else with a MR814?

Thanks all!!
