Accessing webpage from inside your network

I have an IP address link on my website. It links to a page on my PC within my network. If I click this link it will not show the page because I am within the network. Only one IP address is shown to the outside world.

Is there any way I can view this webpage without typing in the internal IP address? e.g. what about those sites that allow you to surf anonymously. Would those make any difference?

Regards,

Jon

You might want to try a remote dns provider such as no-ip. Depending on your network setup it may work.

The other way of doing it would be to map the real world ip to your lan ip using your host file.

or, if your ISP provides an HTTP proxy server, then configure your browser to use that.

Then whenever you put in your site address, you will go to the proxy server, out onto the internet and back to your own site.

In IIS, you can create a virtual folder so that any network location (your PC) is mapped to a virtual folder inside the site root. You could then point the link to your existing website URL followed by /vitualfoldername

I modify the HOSTS file on the PCs within my network so I can access the websites by domain name just as if I was outside the network.
