    Hi All,

    I have developed a website in my laptop Apache is the webserver I deployed on.

    I have a wireless router with 4 ports. My wireless router is assigning IP's to all my system with ending number incremented by 1

    XXX.XXX.XX1
    XXX.XXX.XX2
    XXX.XXX.XX3
    XXX.XXX.XX4

    My IP address on my laptop with out wireless router is different say YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY, with this IP I can access my website out side internet. But when I put the wireless router, no one able to access my website even with IP of modem and wireless router.

    I request you to please help me handling this.

    How can I use the IP comming from my provider to access my website insted of Wireless router.

    Regards,

    Swaroop Kunduru.

    Thanks for the reply ZX10guy,

    I have no problem with the website when I connect directly to the modem. One can access my website. My ISP provider is not blocking port 80 that is for sure.

    If I use wireless router in between Modem and My Laptop I have a problem because the IP is no more the same as when I connected to modem. I was assigned another IP by the router an it creates the problem.

    Regards,

    Swaroop Kunduru.

    Did you set up port forwarding of 80 to that machine? And I also recommend using DynDNS services (they are free) so people can access your web site by a URL instead of IP.
    Your router will always assign a DHCP address. setup static ip addresses or setup that mac address to always have a specific ip address. Then setup port 80 to be forwarded to that address.
