Dear,
I have just installed PhpBB forum and everything works fine. The problem that I'm going to state though is not a major problem, I'm just wandering how I can eliminate them.

Problem is this:
I'm using a netgear router and I have setup a port forwarding and everything is fine but when I tried to login to my phpbb forum, it is then connected to 192.168.0.3 where 192.168.0.3 is my forwarded port for accepting forum requests. Now, I cannot just put DOMAIN NAME in PhpBB configuration to www.mysite.com instead I have to put 192.168.0.3 on DOMAIN name, rite? Because if I open IE and type www.mysite.com there is a sort of loopback problem.

But, if I don't put www.mysite.com at PhpBB DOMAIN NAME config, the PhpBB login and the logout problems are rising. Help me what I have to do. Do I have to change my router into modem mode? Therefore it doesn't do port forwarding, but I can type www.mysite.com or is there any other way to work with local IPs?

Thanks so much.

You should configure your PhpBB to with www.mysite.com . This way, people from outside can use your forum correctly.
Now, if you want to access the forum from inside your LAN, you'll have to configure your computer to associate www.mysite.com directly with your LAN IP 192.168.0.3 (to avoid the loopback problem). Please read http://www.aprelium.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1965#1965 to know how to do.
