NetGear RT314 Webserver Questions.. ARRGH

[hevnsnt]

Ok, finally hooked up my router (christmas gift) and I run a webserver on one of the boxes below it (I am on that computer now) I have set up the router to forward port 80 requests to this box, but whenever I try to go to: http://www.i-hacked.com it trys to log into the router (at least from this side) instead of my webpage. I am using the ip: 65.26.129.99 which I obtained from the setup menu showing me the WAN ip, am I missing anything? Can anyone help!?

Thats due to the fact that the routers loopback doesnt work right. It most likely works for everyone else if you disabled the www filter. So what you can do for convenience (and development) purposes is edit your hosts file to redirect your domain to the loopback ip.

can you get to the website? And is it a flaw with my specific router (like take it back?) or ???

Something is wrong with your server, whats it serving on? Its really weird, it starts to get some of the page and then times out. This isnt the routers fault though, it could be your server or your connection. Anyways, the loopback can most likely be fixed in a firmware update, and many lowend routers have that problem (although Im not sure whether or not highend ones do.)

NM, i got to your site, just real slow.

Well I have been doing a lot with it for the last 3 hrs.. arrgh.. hehe

Anyway, the reason it "times out" is because I use domain re-direction.. So the domain is there just looking for the ip that I have it directed to.. Thanks for helping test it with me..
