i already searched/read existing posts for help in getting my webpage off the ground and implemented a port 80 redirect (via a no-ip account) to port 9999 in hopes of allowing outside connectivity to my local ip. the local shows webpage just fine. both host computer or external connections can't connect to real and wan ip addresses. i can understand my host computer not viewing my page with the external ip, but other two addresses should work, from what i gather. i tried to allow port forwarding in router, but i don't have the password needed to configure.
i run osx 10.2.8. also, i downloaded a dynamic ip update client provided from no-ip.com because i use no one specific access point (is that a problem?).
trust me, i write this as a last resort. please set me straight on this frustrating issue. |

No port forwarding on your router = no access. Nothing you can do till you either dig up the password or hard reset your router and reconfigure it from scratch.

thank you for your reply.
however, i failed to mention that the router i use is not my own. if i could convince the owner to reset it, how difficult would it be to reconfigure? could i achieve this from only my laptop?
i appreciate your patience in this matter. |

If it's a modem/router 2 in 1 style device and they haven't added any other custom configuration options, all they'd be re-entering is their ISP username and password into some configuration option, and 1 single setting to change for your port forwarding. If it's a pure router attached to a modem, it should be virtually plug and play - ready to go immediately after a reset, but with default options (ie admin password) back in place.
