| Westell 6100 E90 running webserver
Okay, I probably have a simple question but here it goes...
I've had a webserver running for on a PC for several years now without any issues. I'm using a domain name provided by NO-IP. We recently moved south so now I'm using BellSouth as my provider since that's all I'm able to get where I'm living now. The router is a Westell 6100 E90.
I have it setup as a Static NAT pointed to the webserver box and people on the outside of the router are able to see my webserver fine. However, if I try to access it using either my external IP or my domain name which points to my external IP, I can't see it and it goes strait to Page Can Not be Displayed.
Is this normal for this router or am I doing something wrong as to why I can't see it from within my network without having to use the local 192.x.x.x IP when others outside are able to without any probs?
Thanks! |

Thank you... you hit the nail of the head. I guess it's not really a huge deal but it's more of an inconvenience for myself more than anything when I'm trying to copy and paste links.
Thanks for clearing it up for me... |
