can't connect to dynamic-ip server

Question

I have a dynamic-ip that enters my home through a router, to which I'm connected via wireless. I've created an account on dyndns.chom ( badescuga.dyndns.org ).

I've configured my router to use my dyndns account successfully. I then went to the "forwarding" tab in my router menu added a new virtual server for port 80 using the internal ip address of 192.168.1.04(my computers ip address)

Although i have my apache server up and running ( http://localhost works ), i can't connect using my domain badescuga.dyndns.org.

Answer 1

Going to the external address while behind the router doesn't always work; the router detects that the connection is local and ignores the forwarding rules, connecting the client to the router instead. Use a host or proxy outside the local network instead.
