Hey all,

Okay a few weeks back I managed to get my apache server live and all was well. This weekend after a small internet nightmare I find myself connected to the web via a router, rather than the adsl modem I was previously using.

Now it seems when I enter my IP I arrive to my router, rather than my apache server.

In the past I would simple type in my IP and voila, I was on my server. Apache listened to port 80.

So it seems that my router has hijacked port 80.

Any ideas on what I need to do to sort this out?

I have a usr sureconnect 9300.

Sounds like what you need is port forwarding. Instruct that router to send any traffic for port 80 to the (local) IP address of your Apache machine.

Thanks marcs, I figured that it may be something like that, problem is that there are so many options on the control panel that it is anything but straight forward.

For example:
•LAN Setup •DHCP •DHCP Relay •DNS Relay •Routing Setup •Spanning Tree

are just some of the options at my disposal...
