Host Website Through Router

[YueHong]

Hi,

I have my website running through wamp server and I have set it online that I am able to view it on other PC on network locally and have set the listen port to 8080. Now, I want it to be able to view from the internet. I am using D-Link DSL-2640B router and I have configured the port forwarding. Here is the image:

The problem is it doesn't works. When I access to my internet ip, I get to the modem admin screen. But when I access it via http://my_internet_ip:8080, I get "the connection was reset" message on firefox.

What should I do now? What did I do wrongly? How to get it works? Thanks.

try a non-standard port, your provider may be blocking common HTTP ports (80, 8080, etc). also try disabling the windows firewall.

You can also try viewing it from a client outside your own network

Try this site:

standard port for http is port 80, try setting it to port 80 instead of port 8080

Thanks a lot for all replies. After I tried to access it from outside of my network using table's 3G, and I found that I can't even access anything.

What should I do now?

when/ if you change it, also check you firewall settings to make sure that port is open.

This, my guess is port 8080 is being filtered.

I don't really see the point in what you are doing as is, those rules don't matter as you aren't redirecting any traffic past the firewall, its just saying port 8080 goes to port 8080. I would change that to say external port 80 redirects to 8080 internal. Might cause some conflicts, so I'd just open 8080 on the firewall and delete the port forwarding rule. Should work then.

This site gives a quicker check than the above browser-shots page
http://www.webpagetest.org/

This is good for quick checking if your ports are open from outside

or use GRC Shields Up

also are you saying you have Remote Management enabled on your router
- do you really need this enabled?

Thanks for all replies. After I retry again, it works now. The key of this problem solving is viewing it outside my own network. When viewing from own network, I will see the modem access page. But when view from other network, I can see the page showing up.

Thanks.
