Problem with Router and web server

Post by willieej2002 »

Hey all.

I am having a very small problem with my router. Whenever I try to access my website via my public address, it takes me to my router configuration screen.

How can I make it so that it actually goes to my site instead of the router config page?

I'm using a Belkin F5D5231-4 router. This problem is very aggrivating. Any help is VERY much appreciated. ^_^

Nevermind guys, all fixed. :)

What I had to do, was modify my HOSTS file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\HOSTS) and add my domain name and local addresses, and it seems to fix the no loopback problem. :)
