Wolvereen Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syscrash2k Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 This is normal, because www.blahblah.com would point to your router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolvereen Posted July 14, 2003 Author Share Posted July 14, 2003 So there's no way I can view any internally hosted material? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clone5k Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 have you tried pinging your domain from an external location? what about a trace route? Perhaps traffic isnt even making it to your router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threetonesun Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 See if you can enable something called "loopback" on your router. Some have it, some don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolvereen Posted July 19, 2003 Author Share Posted July 19, 2003 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobbe Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Try another port? Outside the range of reserved ports... ? Port 1-1024 is reserved, try port 4100... hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabej62927 Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 You need to have the loopback option enabled on your router, otherwise you must use your LAN IP to access your Web server. Without Loopback: http://www.yourdomain.abc:88/ => don't work http://192.168.2.98:88/ => work With Loopback: http://www.yourdomain.abc:88/ => work http://192.168.2.98:88/ => work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolvereen Posted July 20, 2003 Author Share Posted July 20, 2003 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
