Running a Web Server using a MN-500

I can't get my Wireless-B Base Station (MN-500) to run my
Web server. I tried setting up port forwarding, but the
WAN IP still won't resolve to my page. When I type the
local IP of the machine on the LAN, it works. I have
even tried DMZ and disabling the firewall in the unit.
Does anyone know how to get web hosting through this
router????

You need to update to firmware 1.11.017 to get loopback
support (so you can access through the WAN IP).
Otherwise, it probably is accessible from the outside,
but local computers in the LAN cannot get to it through
the WAN IP without loopback support.

I am using a DSL modem and an MN-500. I had the same
problem. I had to set my MN-500 to use PPPOE instead of
the modem. This way the MN-500 is the first and only
gateway receiving and IP from the ISP. What was happening
with mine, and I suspect is happening with yours, is that
your modem is receiving an IP address from your ISP, then
your MN-500 is acting as a second gateway issuing out new
IP addresses. So when you go to your WAN IP address you
get the infamous "The page cannot be displayed - Cannot
find Server" Page. I hope this helps.
