theviper, welcome to the forums. :)
Are you using your external IP to access your website?
If you are, then refer to http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/faq.html#A1-2
to try and solve your problem. |

To access your machine from the other computer on your network (LAN), you
should use the LAN IP of the computer. Run the Windows command ipconfig in a
DOS command box to know this IP (it is usually of the form 192.168.*.* where
* are numbers ranging from 0 to 255).
To access the server from the outside, people should use your router's WAN
IP (or external IP). It is the IP assigned to it by your ISP. This WAN IP
can be
known by browsing http://www.aprelium.com/ip from your computer. If you have
a router, you must configure it to forward incoming requests to the web port
to your computer so that Abyss Web Server can respond to them.
If your WAN IP changes often, You'll need to use the services of a free DNS
provider that can track those IP changes and give you a DNS name. We suggest
looking at http://www.dyndns.org or at
http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Internet/Servers/Address_Management/Dynamic_DNS_Services/?tc=1 .
This way, you'll always access your server using an address like
http://www.yourserver.freednsprovider.com without paying attention to IP
changes.
If you have problems to make your server reachable from the outside, we
recommend reading http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/faq.html#A1-2 . _________________ Support Team
