Have you set up your router correctly, or did you just expect to register a DynDNS account and have it work ?

yes I think I have, I have opened the port 80 and the port I set the web server to use, that was port 50, theyr both open.
Can it be that my server is set to use a wrong port?

As long as you forwarded 80 on your router to the correct port on your PC, there shouldn't be a problem. However, your ISP may be blocking port 80 - have you tried setting port forwarding up for a different port - preferably a random one > 1024.

The right port on your computer is the port Abyss is running on, I was suggesting changing the port used on your router to something higher. ie 8181 -> 80. Your site still doesn't appear to be working. Have you set your Dyndns up properly? Do you have a static ip?

No I don't have static IP, I have dynamic IP and I update it many times a day, so I don't think that's the problem, I had another server program installed that could have been the problem I have now uninstalled it and am hoping it work's, but I don't know how to open a port at my computer, I do not have FIEWALL other places than my router, if it work's this should be the place: [url]zpelmo.mine.nu[/url]

If the address is forwarded to your ip, but the server is set on Port 8080, it won't work. You need to append :8080 to the end of your IP.

You don't enter the :8080 at DynDNS - you just need to give it out with your DynDNS name, so for example if you're running Abyss with the port forwarded as 8080, you'd give out this address to people to view your site :

http://zpelmo.mine.nu:8080

That's working fine :)

The text is too big, and the frames are too small (too many scroll bars). Also, Fan Artwork does not load properly--you have it set as a local URL.
