I'm trying to run a Server and I get the Router page instead of my Server? (#10137)
Normal operation. You cannot access your server on the same LAN by using it's Domain Name (FQDN) or Public IP Address as loopback is completely disabled in quite a few SoHo Routers. It's a feature found in some, but not all Routers (it used be only in units starting at $600.00 and up until a few years ago). There is nothing you can do to enable loopback either. Sorry. However, there are 3 work-a-rounds: 1) You can use the server's Private LAN IP to access it. 2) You can use a web proxy to access it (»www.guardster.com) by FQDN. 3) You can add an entry into your HOSTS file that shows your server domain name linked to the Private LAN IP. feedback form by Doctor Olds last modified: 2005-01-10 21:47:20
