Hi all

1. I have set up my server and works fine locally :-)

2. I have joined zoneedit.com and changed my name servers for the domain my_domain.com

3. I have gone to http://whatismyipaddress.com and established my ip address is 81.86.195.228

4. In zoneedit.com i have pointed the domain my_domain.com and www.my_domain.com to ip address 81.86.195.228.

5. when i type in http://www.my_domain.com i get sent to the DSL WEB Commander for my router (set up page) ???????

6. Im new to this IP stuff (not web sites though). Can somebody help as I am sure i am missing something little here??? :-)

Thanks in advance

Here is the point. You should see how to configure your router to enable incoming trafic on port 80 and forward it to your computer (and not to its configuration interface).
The best is to read the documentation that comes with it or to ask their support for help (as that seems to be a common issue with routers).

OK i have found the problem above and set a ppp_device to port 80.

IS the destination address my pc ip 192.*.*.* or the webserver IP 127.0.0.1?

You should use your IP 192.*.*.* . In fact 127.0.0.1 is the local IP of each computer and cannot be used remotely.
