can't connect to my own site ... router issue !?

[pamirian76]

hi,

I have a router with a dialer interface(dsl).

everything with the connection works great.

in my internal network I have 2 computers, (webserver1) and (pc).

I'm using the router to do a static nat and forward all the connections to my router on port 80 to the webserver and it works fine.

the problem is that when I access this site (www.xyz.com) from the internet it works fine but when I try to access it from the internal pc, it does not work it just can't see the webserver.

I've used some debugging and this is what I get when I try to access the site from my pc (internal).

I can see that it tries 3 times and then it stops but I just don't understant how this can happen...

also, I can access any other sites on the internet from my pc but just not my own site ...

webserver (192.168.76.5) pc(192.168.76.2) router(192.168.76.1 the GW)

Hi,

Because of the NAT configuration, you cannot access your web-site using its public IP address. The only way you can access this site is by using its internal (non-NATed) address. There is nothing wrong with this - it is simply a consequence of using NAT.

Hope that helps - pls rate the post if it does.
