Re: Problem accessing website from inside network

shahsachin@xxxxxxxxx hath wroth:

Let me give you some more details, which might avoid the confusion.
When I said "inside the network" I meant another computer connected to
that Belkin router. So say, one port of router is occupied by my web
server (192.168.2.xx) and I connect my laptop to the wireless network
of the same router (192.168.2.yy), and then I try to connect to my
website from laptop e.g. http://myname.com (which is hosted on the web
server on port 80, and that URL will resolve to Belkin router's WAN
IP), instead of my website, i get the router setup screen. But if I
connect to http://myname.com "ourside the network" (i.e. from the
computer which is not a part of that router network, e.g. my work
machine), it correctly shows the website.

Are your client machines Windoze, Linux, or MacIntosh? If a DNS
lookup ends up pointing to the wrong machine, it's just as likely to
be the client as the router. However, I can't tell what it's pointing
to when run from the LAN side. Try running:
ping myname.com
and see what IP address gets resolved. It should be the WAN IP
address of your router which is currently 71.128.193.129. If DNS is
doing it's job, that should work correctly.

However, there's some question as to how your Belkin router handles
connections to your own IP address, from the LAN side, to the WAN IP
address. My guess(tm) is that it will end up doing exactly what you
described previously and end up pointing to the LAN side, which on
port 80 is the internal web page configuration. I'll try it on my
BEFW11S4 and see what happens. Back in a few....

My Remote Management option is disabled, so that's not the issue I
think.

No, that's not it. Bad guess on my part.
