How can i access localhost (My Server) through my IP instead of gettin' my router config page ?

I googled & figured i needed to re-direct my ports, I set that up but still no luck =/

portfo-1274111327.png


Anyone know anything ?

I have a D-Link DSL-2640R if that helps. Thanks :)

Hey i think your Router gateway ip is 191.168.1.1

Well just do this, change that gateway ip to 192.168.2.1 or something then release and renew your ip to get a new ip on the new gateway then on the browser try localhost.

It will work.

Cheerz
 
just type: localhost in you browser.
if you are on an other network, you should put your ip in your browser.

note: you have to forward your external ip to your local system ip.
 
Check your Ip address of your PC.
You can do this My using ipconfig

If its 192.168.1.1 change it in Private ip.s
also put the port range 56355 - 56357
 
Oops sorry did not get your question right the first time.
This is simple you dont even need to do any config on your router.

What you do is get the IP of your computer, and add it to your browser and it will work.

Let me know once it works :)
 
try using the ipconfig /all command as sniper suggested and see what it tells you your ip and gateway addresses are set.

Then report them here if you are still confused.
 
if you want to login into your router try:
192.168.0.1
192.168.1.0
192.168.0.01

if you want to visit your local server try: 127.0.0.1 or localhost
 
I can access it throught 127.0.0.1 & Localhost but thats not what i want,
I want to share my IP so others on outside can access it.

This is IPConfig ...

Are you using a program for the server ? (wamp, xamp, etc).
Or a server just for that.

Also, there is no way to get your server's page instead of router page, unless you change your router's IP (which some router's can or cannot do), or you can try to change the server's ip.
 
Basically what you have to do is forward port 80 to your PC. Protocol type can be set to TCP only as far as I'm aware of.

You have to make sure that the "remote management" (advanced tab, then on the left side) of your router is turned off. You might want to turn of the router firewall for a second just to see if it works without.
 
Well if you are on your computer, you should be putting in the computer's ip (where it's hosted) not your router's IP. (So not sure why you are getting your router's IP -- maybe putting in wrong IP?)

If you are able to view the stuff locally (even by typing in localhost), then it's probably a port problem. If you have already enabled port 80 for your machine, then the easiest thing would probably be just changing the port in the httpd.conf file, restarting apache, then opening that port on your router.

Then you should be able to view it by using your external IP. (not 192.168)

Unless... xampp has a way to "put apache online" like wamp does. ( I do not recall ).
Which what wamp does is only allow local access to apache, when you turn on apache, it then allows viewers from the "outside" world to see your website(s).
If it does, then that's probably the problem.

Edit.

Actually, maybe I misread, but if you are saying people are putting your external IP and getting your router's page, then you can try to disable that in your router if it lets you. (you can just google it and see if your router allows you to).
or the simple way, is like I said change the listen port in httpd.conf
