|
|
Dear,
I have just installed PhpBB forum and everything works fine. The problem that I'm going to state though is not a major problem, I'm just wandering how I can eliminate them.
Problem is this:
I'm using a netgear router and I have setup a port forwarding and everything is fine but when I tried to login to my phpbb forum, it is then connected to 192.168.0.3 where 192.168.0.3 is my forwarded port for accepting forum requests. Now, I cannot just put DOMAIN NAME in PhpBB configuration to www.mysite.com instead I have to put 192.168.0.3 on DOMAIN name, rite? Because if I open IE and type www.mysite.com there is a sort of loopback problem.
But, if I don't put www.mysite.com at PhpBB DOMAIN NAME config, the PhpBB login and the logout problems are rising. Help me what I have to do. Do I have to change my router into modem mode? Therefore it doesn't do port forwarding, but I can type www.mysite.com or is there any other way to work with local IPs?
Thanks so much. |
