Have a look at... http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netgear/DG834GT/HTTP.htm
to make sure you are doing the port forwarding properly.

Taurus_G4,

You router does not support loopback. So when you try accessing your external IP or type your domain name from inside your network (behind the router) it will bring the router configuration interface.

But people outside your network will continue to access your site with no problems.

To test your external site accessibility, we recommend using a proxy service such as http://www.proxify.com (you can find a more extensive list of sites providing proxy service in http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Internet/Proxying_and_Filtering/Hosted_Proxy_Services/Free/CGI_Proxy/ ). It will help you see how the rest of the world sees your site by browsing it remotely for you and giving you the results (this is often easier than asking a friend to test it for you).

To work with your site locally using its domain name, we suggest using this tip: For example, let's say you want to test the host http://www.myhost.com locally. In the computer where you used to browse http://127.0.0.1 to get the web site (which doesn't work anymore since the host has a name), open with Notepad (or any text editor) the file:

C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (if you are using Windows NT, 2000, or XP Pro)
or
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (if you are using Windows XP Home or 2003)
or
C:\WINDOWS\hosts (if you are using Windows 95,98, or ME)
or
/etc/hosts (if you are on Linux, Mac OS X, or FreeBSD)

and add at the end of that file a line of the form:

127.0.0.1 www.mysite.com

Save the file and browse http://www.mysite.com locally . You should see the web site.

This file act like a local domain names database. The system does a lookup in it before contacting an external DNS server to resolve the domain name requested in the browser.
