The problem is cause by loop back and cannot be resolved by most routers. Heres a workaround:

C Windows or Winnit
System 32 Folder

Look for hosts file its a text file. Open it with word pad or note pad. It will look like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
192.168.2.191 www.norriscomputer.com
127.0.0.1 localhost
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My server runs on 192.168.2.191 and my domain is www.norriscomputer.com . If you add this line (With YOUR server location) and Your Domain , When you view your domain on YOUR Computer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows 98:
C:/
Windows
Hosts File
Edit this in the same way.
Note:
Your server may be at :
127.0.0.1
192.168.1.2
192.168.2.1
You will have to look on your router to find the addressee.
This is a workaround using an old fashion method. But It works ;)
