Then if you have your dyndns setup properly in your router you should be able to view it from the address you selected eg. mywebsite.dyndns.com The only issue you may encounter is if you are using a script that uses localhost instead of the actual computers ip address.

Hey Rob/Guys, I still have problem even I have done exactly what rob mentioned above. - use wamp - use apache - after install wamp click on tray icon and put on line - If I use my internal static IP, I can access webpage, which is on port 80 (eg: 192.168.1.35) - If I use my Localhost, I can access webpage, which is on port 80 (eg: localhost) BUT - If I use my mywebsite.dyndns.com , I can NOT access webpage, BUT keep getting Authentication page which asking me username and password I have try both from inside my router firewall (home) and from outside router firewall (my work place) with no success. It kept asking me to enter username and password. This is not even router password or my windows password. I try each and every user/pass I remember but nothing happens. What to do now ?	babip (14282)

784838	2009-06-23 23:38:00	You could forward port 80 to 192.168.1.35 in your router. I have forwarded port 80 to 192.168.1.35 - Confirmed by accessing http ://192.168.1.35 - Can see webpage BUT when I try to use mywebsite.dyndns.com - I STILL keep getting Password prompt ?	babip (14282)

Troubleshooting If you can not connect to your server using the addresses above, you need to check the following: Make sure yourhost.dyndns.org(or yourdomain.com) is pointing to the external IP, the one your ISP has assigned you. If not, log in and update it Check with your router manufacturer to see if you are forwarding port 80 properly Make sure no firewall is blocking access Contact your ISP to see if they are blocking port 80 www.dyndns.com	Rob99 (151)
784840	2009-06-24 00:23:00	* Check PASS - Pointing to correct external IP (confirmed by going to www.whatismyip.com) - Make sure yourhost.dyndns.org(or yourdomain.com) is pointing to the external IP, the one your ISP has assigned you. If not, log in and update it * Check PASS - Router support both port forwarding and port range forwarding, configuration is correct - Check with your router manufacturer to see if you are forwarding port 80 properly * Check PASS - Firewall is superficially told not to block port 80 (i:e: exception is added to allow port 80) - Make sure no firewall is blocking access * Information Can not be found Online, Need to ring my ISP Will get back to you soon if ISP has less queue - Contact your ISP to see if they are blocking port 80	babip (14282)

It can't have been forwarded correctly; by accessing http://192.168.1.35, you aren't going through the router, but accessing it locally. Your ISP isn't blocking you because you are getting the password prompt. The password prompt is the control panel of your router. You should first of all disable remote configuration on your router so people on the internet cannot try login to your router and change your settings/account details. Give us a screen cap of your port forwarding page on the router. Either that or your router doesn't allow forwarding of port 80 (because it is used to access the the router control panel). You could just run apache on your local machine on port 1080, and then get dyndns to point to port 1080 if possible. But the first thing I'd do is disable remote access for your router. Allowing the whole internet to login to your router is pretty unsafe.	utopian201 (6245)
