    Probably your router doesn't support NAT loopback (or it's disabled). To access server web page from LAN go to http://yourservername. If you don't like this there's a number of ways to solve this

    so i retested  now considering i have 4 different websites including the WHS website they all point to port 80    now  if i type in http://servername then i can access it locally but that takes me to the home page of the whs  but i wanna be able to access the others as i tried the other stuff and got confused with the first section in the article.  but i even did http://servername:1234  and added an extra port in for the wesbsite  of 1234  but that didnt work either   so i stumped

    but i had my server on a dmz   now i figured thats the problem maybe its outside the network stuff so i put it in and put virtual and port forwarding to the server at port 80

    yet now  i cant access my website either internally or externtally from remote computers  gets worse lol
