Also you may find that it is against your ISPs terms to run a server off your normal internet connection, and they could also be blocking you.

Hi Robbyp,
You are right, Ultimately I want to host by site, but site is not anywhere near ready, I want some feedback from friends who are unfortunately not in same city. SO to give them Access, I want to temporary host the site on my own home, once few things sorted, I would go for the web-hosting. It is a smart choice. What u recon ?

This. Try something like, forwarding external port 81, or even 4280, to internal port 80, and try connecting to
http://mywebsite.dyndns.com:81 or
http://mywebsite.dyndns.com:4280

depending which you picked.

784856 2009-06-24 23:15:00 Hi ,
I have try as you suggest to forward port 81 to external port 80 (http://www.mywebsite.dyndns.com:81) with no luck, keeps prompting me to enter user name and password.
BUT some Interesting thing I have figured it out yesterday, this do not give me any clue what is wrong but I am sure you guy would know
whats going here.
When I type on my command prompt ipconfig / all
1 .My default gateway comes to 192.168.1.99 (where my router is) because Woosh has informed me to change this to work with the wireless (This setting has been there since I am with Wossh, creating me no issue)
2. Where as I have check my computer StaticIP settings, which says my default gateway is 192.168.1.1
3. When I try to change StaticIP settings from 192.168.1.1 TO 192.168.1.99 My browser request stops and it won't let me browse any website So I have
rolloed it back to 192.168.1.1 and it works fine.
So this prompted me to go to http://192.168.1.1 and there comes the devil,
It asked me to authenticate by entring username/pass (same as what I get when I try to login to http://www.mywebsite.dyndns.com )

So to conclude, I get the same login prompt at 192.168.1.1 AND http: and this is not a router login because router is at http://192.168.1.99 (which allowe me to login and I can log in is sweet as)

What do you guys think of this ? Whats Wrong here ?

Note:
a. I have confirmed with my ISP Woosh, they do no block any port or request
b. Try turning off all the firewalls (windows and antivirus), with no louck

784857 2009-06-25 00:13:00 What device is at the address 192.168.1.1? inphinity (7274)
784858 2009-06-25 00:16:00 What device is at the address 192.168.1.1?

Nothing at this address ! why it still keep asking me about username/pass ?
Does this not supposed to be for default router , but as i said above, my routher is at 192.168.1.99 and works great.

784859 2009-06-25 00:24:00 Something is at 192.168.1.1 if it's prompting you for a username / password. Do you have another router there, a wireless access point, anything? inphinity (7274)
784860 2009-06-25 00:36:00 I do not have other hardware then 1 router (linksys). All other pc/laptops are on different static port
I do not know that is wireless access point ? is this means router ? if it is then my router is at 192.168.1.99 (it was on 192.168.1.1 by default but I could not go to internet so Woosh (ISP) suggested me to change it to 192.168.1.99 and I am connected to internet since long back)
how else I can figure out what is on 192.168.1.1 ?
