I have been having problems getting to my website by entering my IP address. I have read the sticky and have already forwarded the ports on my router and my computer's firewall:



When I try to go to http://74.243.59.213 , it gives me an error. When I enter http://localhost, however, I can see the website I have yet to edit. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. Can someone help me out? Many thanks in advance.

It is because the Belkin N1 routers do not support loopback, so what you need to do is to go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc and edit the hosts document using notepad. Add a line in there with the normal IP (private LAN) like 192.168.2.2 that your hosting the webserver on then put a space then type the web address/IP for site i would addvise you to have a dyndns account with a hostname for port 80 if your ip is not static.

Merry christmas, and many thanks
