Simple question...neewbie

Hi all, I have the next configuration at home

1.- 192.0.0.1 : My Router (it has also an external fix IP
80.25.31.100)
2.- 192.0.0.2 : My Laptop
3.- 192.0.0.3 : WebServer (I want to put here my personal website)

all of the are conected to the router, and this is conected to my ISP

I have configurated an external DNS like this www.mywebsite.com =>
80.25.31.100 (the ip of my router)

I have also configurated the following in my Route, :I have create a
NAT entry to map :
80.25.31.100 port 80 to my 192.0.0.3 (WebServer)

Everything works fine, and outside my network using a browser I can
browse my site
http://www.mysite.com or http://80.25.31.100

THE PROBLEM is that if I use my laptop (inside network), when I try to
browse http://80.25.31.100 (or http://www.mywebsite.com), I go directly
to the administration page of my router. (I mean is the same as if I
put http:192.0.0.1) and I CAN NOT browser my own web site.

How can I avoid this? I would like to surf my site, the same way that
the people surf outside my network.

I Know that "How to Config" depends on the my router model, But will
help me a lot if someone gives me some tips, what to do, where to
config, Create a new NAT rule....


Thanks a lot

Alberto

Inside your own network it is http://192.0.0.3 . Hope this helps.

Thanks Bruce, I agree with you, I can browser my site typing
http://192.0.0.3 , but that is not the best solution.

I need to browse my site using the domain name "www.mysite.com",
because if I browse with IP, it doesn´t work (some links are harded
code with the domain name, some component have a license that only
works if I surf using the domain name..).

Well, the question is that I woukd like (need) to surf my site like
this www.mysite.com

I think that if i put in my "host." file (i am using XP) an entry like
this

192.0.0.3 www.mysite.com

it works the way I need.

But last question,.., isn´t there a way to config this in the router?

any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Alberto

OK, if it works, you've solved your problem

It isn't a router problem, it is a DNS problem. You have no DNS of
your own, so you must use the HOST file.

ok I understand, thanks !

Beware that, because you have a laptop, you need to change your host file
each time you connect to the internet somewhere else then from home.
If you would connect from, for example, an internet cafe using your own
laptop, then it would also connect to 192.0.0.3 (based on the host file),
which will clearly not work from that location.

I know that there are routers that actually do support it. Check whether you
can configure the router to show the configuration pages on a different
port. When you connect to it now it's HTTP on port 80 (the routers internal
web server), the same port you actually want forwarded to your web server.
So if you can configure the router to use a different port than 80, it might
then actually start forwarding port 80 to your webserver.

If this doesn't work, the only solution (beside the host file) is to run
your own FTP server (which is quite a hassle)

What router do you have? Is there an option on any of the router config
pages called "allow loopback" connections, or something similar? On some
routers you can activate a feature where if you're on your lan your router
can make it seem like you're accessing your network from the "outside" (WAN)
port, and then you could possibly use www.yoursite.com and get to your page
while at home.
