<big>While I am not sure what you are trying to do, I may have am idea
for you.<br>
<br>
I have a DLINK DIR-645 router and a number of computers on my LAN, one
of which is set up with Linux running Apache so as to serve as a
webserver.<br>
(see blog on KWLUG user pages)<br>
<br>
To allow external users external access to the webserver through a
browser I have the router set up for "port forwarding".<br>
And, with this setup, users external to my LAN and on the intertubes
can access the webserver by typing: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://209.xxx.xxx.xxx">http://209.xxx.xxx.xxx</a>.<br>
</big><big>(I do not have a registered domain.)</big><br>
<big>The IP address is used without specifying the port to be used,
i.e. defaulting port 80. Port 80 is forwarded to the webserver as is
port 443.<br>
<br>
This mechanism also worked on a previous DKINK router model.<br>
<br>
BTW: The webserver is not up at the moment as Apache is broken. TODO:
fix.<br>

I have tried pointing to a computer on my my lan as well as pointing to
the router name as well.<br>
</div>
same result I can ping the server but the IP that comes back is that of
the router. when I try to hit a web page it hangs.<br>
