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

now things really messed up i see it didnt show
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 lolTuesday, January 12, 2010 2:09 PM -
ok finnally got it to work in the end even though i had entered them in u had to click the check box, but i did that before but what i found is u cant click the check box beside the port forwarding u did u had to create the port forwarding to my server and port 80 click save wait 15 seconds while it reboots and saves the router then go back check off the check box and then click save again found it by acident then the check box stays checked and what not
thanks for the helpTuesday, January 12, 2010 2:18 PM
