This is for all the people who cannot view their website for multiple reasons. 1) You enter your IP address and you cannot see your website. 2) You can only...

No problem, glad it worked.
So it was your ISP that blocked port 80? Which ISP is it?

Ok Im not a noob, but Im really confused.
Ill start from the beginning.
Had Abyss for like 3 months now, never had a problem.
Last nite we had a power surge, yet the computer and stuff was fine. This morning, turned on the comp, went to school, came back, and got IM's complaining that my site was down. viewed it (www.apexx.tk) and it "could not be displayed."
I have a D-Link 624 router and it is set on DMZ.
I also have Zone Alarm Pro, which I have disabled/enabled numerous times to see if it was causing this fickle behaviour.
My IP is 24.60.85.172...
So, any ideas on what happened? I can see the site on localhost, but not on my ip or my dyns.
EDIT: Ok, I found out that maybe comcast is blocking port 80? I can use any port besides it to get it to work. So uh, how do I set up port forwarding on a D-Link?

(On a side note, if you use DMZ, you better secure your machine pretty good since you're using Windows).
A lot of the time, a computer will get a new internal IP from the DHCP and you won't know about it. Open the command prompt, and type "ipconfig" to get your internal IP address. Go into the D-Link router settings, and make sure it matches up with the one you're using for the DMZ.
Consider port forwarding...

hi there
when i go to my router config (http://192.168.1.1), a window pops up and asks me to enter the password and username
and i dont even knwo what it is all about

That is the setup screen for your router. Do you happen to know what brand your router is? Linksys maybe?

linksys

Leave the username blank, and use "admin" for the password. Then follow the rest of the guide.

I know a hang of a lot easier way which I had to use so that both me and others could use my Invision Powered Forums which add your internet domain infront of all links :(
Instruction:

Search for your hosts file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc and open it with notepade.
Then add under line:

127.0.0.1       localhost

With:

192.168.1.245 www.fexserver.com

In my case, means your servers IP then your internet domain.
Now close all browsers and open again and you can now enter your website via the addressess everyone else uses, very helpful :)

You only needed http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=602 - the rest is some kind of session logging.

I think they put my SID in the URL because I blocked cookies.

Windows\System32\drivers is only on Windows XP, and only by default...
Start-> Run-> Notepad.exe %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts will open it straight up in Notepad on Windows NT4, 2000 and XP.

iNaNimAtE

That's why you need to follow the guide in this thread on how to enable port forwarding.

MUGH8506

i dont see any option that says "forwarding"
look at the screenshot below

That looks like the main page. Aren't there sections on the top?
