    Hi,

    I have a netgear RP114 router and I have configured that with a static IP and I have bound my domain name to the IP. I am running an apache webserver in one of my local machines connected to the router and I have port forwarding configured on the router to forward ports 80 and 443 to the server machine. When I try to access web application using the domain name, I am getting the router admin page with the login prompt. For some reason it looks like port forwarding is not happening. What am I doing wrong? Please help.

    Thanks.

    Sounds like the name resolves to the router because you have bound the name to the router. Is web management enable on the router? But you may be resolving locally, so have you tried to access the site from outside your network?
    If your looking to put up a Internet website you'll need to register the name with a service like godaddy or yournamefree and their dns service will resolve to your IP.
    Is this an Intranet or Internet website?
