hello im michael.im trying to run a site on my computer.im using apache http server and a router.(its written on the router-TNN●SIEMENS SL2-141)
i allowed port 80 on my windows firewall,but it didnt worked.i typed my worldwide IP on my and my friends computer and both didnt worked.my friend tryed port froward-he frowarded port 80 to hes ip and rebooted modem but hes ip canged.wahts the problem?why cant we rum our site?

your ISP probably doesn't allow incoming port 80.

Yep, most isp's block port 80. Why don't you just setup a test server on your local machine, and upload to another web host? A lot less hassle.

So wait, you said he forwared the ip to the modem and then the ip changed? It sounds like you're trying to forward a local IP and the router gave you a new one with its DHCP server, making the port forward not effective..Does this sound like what happened? Try disabling your router firewall.

huh?

wow gratz!!! i really got what you told! k now how to fix it ?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

get a different ISP!

Either that or you entered the wrong local IP when port forwarding. Go to run and type cmd, then type ipconfig. Make sure you use the IP listed there, when port forwarding.

The 192.168....

ISP = Internet Service Provider. The people who provide you with the means of browsing the internet.

That would be the external IP.
If you port forwarded to that IP, you simply sent the router into a circular forwarding pattern.

k thanks you helped me now.but seruesly man you cant expect me to cahnge ISP only for a **** server...that way hosting my site on another site will be simpler.

I don't expect you to do anything, neither do I care what you decide to do.

Merely pointing out the possible solutions.
