Im fairly new to this kind of stuff so.. people trying to access my web server tell me that they get some sort of error message about dns?
and the local web server address that is displayed in the server window is different than the ip address from my computer (i thought that to connect to my server people would have to connect to my ip? isnt that how it works?)

i am also using a linksys router, ive tried accessing it but im not sure of the password and the default admin password doesn't work. Is there anyway of reseting the password without resetting the whole thing? am i right to assume that getting to the router would make my site accessible to others?

To have other people access your server from the outside, you can get your IP address from http://www.aprelium.com/ip and then ask people to connect to http://IP or (http://IP:port/ if your port is not set to the default value
80.)
You can also use your DNS name to access to your web site provided that you have one.

If people still cannot access you using that IP, verify that it points to your computer. If you have a router or a firewall software, read http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/faq.html#A1-2 .

Can you be specific.
When you say you get IP "different than the ip address from my computer" how do you get that info from? By what mean? Did you click on the Aprelium - < http://www.aprelium.com/ip/ > or from IPCONF command (assuming Win2K or WinXP)? If you talking about IPCONF, then it your LAN IP that you are seeing. Your guest or visitor cannot access by your private LAN IP. If you referring to Aprelium IP detection thing, then you have either not setup your router to direct or port forwarding to your LAN IP of where your Abyss is sitting.

Now, are getting somewhere or you still stuck?
