Windows XP With Apache V2
3 virtual domains been working for years on Time Warner Cable.
Router is older Linksys BEFSR81
Port 80 Forwarding to fixed IP 192.161.1.51.

Moved to another house with Time Warner Cable and a newer Linksys router WRT554AG Wireless.

Set up DNS to point to new IP address.

Set up Port forwarding and checked that server is correctly serving pages by using a remote PC in another city. All is
working well.

What's different?
The old location, http://domain_name works fine from the server on which the domain runs.

The new location, http://domain_name opens window for Linksys Login. I can't seem to avoid the LinkSys login... unless
I add entry to HOSTS file 127.0.0.1 domain_name.

How do I fix this?

Make sure something isn't using the wrong DNS Server after the move.
Having to over-ride with a Host file is a hint that it is a DNS problem.

I don't really understand all that you are doing, so I am going to have to
guess a little.....

If there is only one machine involved and the Site is on that
machine,...then when you access that Site from the machine itself the Name
should always resolve to the actual IP# of the machine itself and not the
Linksys external IP#, and not 127.0.0.1.
Since you would not be running your own internal DNS Server (this is XP
after all), the best approach is to add an entry to the Hosts file of:

<actual machine IP#> <site FQDN>

Remember that you accessing your Site from the inside of the LAN has no
relationship to the public accessing it from outside the LAN. They will be
using the Public IP# and you will be using the internal LAN IP# of the
machine itself,...that is the way it is supposed to be. So make sure that
the <site FQDN> resolves to the correct IP# according to the situation.

If you have multiple machines on your LAN (and still no local DNS) then you
will have to repeat the Host file entry on every machine.

Yes, good point. That should be turned off.
But changing the port number means nothing, a hacker doesn't sit at the
keyboard and peck out an attack like that manually, and 8080 would always be
the second port they would try anyway. They would use a Scanner that would
look at all 65,000+ ports in a matter of seconds and find where ever you put
the web interface,..might as well leave it on 80 and forget it.
