running server from behind a router

My configuration is :
win XP home
running apache 2.0.43, PHP 4,
web server running on port 80
Billion 5100 - 4 port router/DSL modem running on port 88 at the moment

runs fine and is accessible from the outside world on my IP when I use an
ADSL modem ( no router or hub)

with the billion router attached (set not to run on port 80 so as to free
that port up) my server can not be accessed from the outside world, it is
accessible from within the LAN on http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ ,
http://localhost and http://computername

I know it has something to do with port forwarding but I don't know where to
start and what to configure in the router to accomplish this

if there is anyone who thinks they can help and want some screen shots of
the router admin interface I would be glad to send some to you..

thanks in advance

what it sounds like you need to do is change your nat policies to nat your
PUBLIC IP to your webserver. so it would say anything on port 80 on IP
X.X.X.X nat to PRIVATE IP. that should be all..

most adsl routers don't let your external request ie: http://domain.com/ work, as it treats you as a 'local internal connection' you could put domain.com into your hosts file and map into the LAN ip address of the server

Put the machine and IP in THEIR hosts file!
