I have a belkin 802.11g wireless router im setting up my own web server but this router is interfering. It has a option on it so you can access the config from anywhere on the internet. Does anyone know a way i can turn this feature off. Ive attached a screenshot of the configuration

lookin at the screenshot it appears to be off cos it says "Before you enable this feature" and also the box "Any IP address can remotely manage this router" is unticked. So as far as I can see it is disabled.

Have you clicked on More Info to check anything there just in case? But I think its off anyway.

 

Don't know if it's anything like the Belkin I used to have before I took it back because the firmware was bugged and missing some features. I spoke to Belkin support several times and was assured a fix was in development. 4 months after I had returned the router they mailed me the new firmware ...
I would take a quick look at the Belkin site to make sure your firmware is upto date if you haven't done so already. Probably worth a quick google as well, someone may well have had the same problem. Which model router are you using?

Right i know its unticked but its only doing this on my ip address so i cant view my site. More info just says Remote Management Before you enable this function, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Remote management allows you to make changes to your Router's settings from anywhere on the Internet.
Its model number is F5D7632uk4A

The exact same model of router that I got rid of so I can't help you! Looks like you've got an upto date firmware as the daylight savings tickbox appears to be working on yours. Just had a quick look on the Belkin site and I never even knew they'd released a V2 of the 7632uk4! Latest f/w for the 7632uk4 appears to be 1.00.09 and for the V2 is 1.01.10.
Whats the problem you're having by the way? Is it a question of if you enter your external IP you end up getting the router management screen?

Thats exactly the problem. My websites domain name points to my external ip address so it brings up the routers configuration

 

Have you by any chance asked someone else to try having a look at your site from their connection. Or possibly try using a dialup connection from your PC through a different ISP? What happens then?

 

Usualy if you arrange to forward such requests to a machine inside, or to a DMZ then the router interface is no longer externaly visible.

Thanks Harry Went to the virtual servers page added a web server and it now works like a charm!

 

Well now it doesnt work :hhhmmm. Ive attached another screenshot of my virtual servers page on the router

 

Er - a few details might be useful. Which bit doesn't work? The forwarding, or the external blocking of access?

And what happens?

Harry.

 

jackd,

Is your web server also your DNS server?

 

Is there only one PC attached to the router, or is your server a different machine ? If so, how is it connected - wireless, by any chance ?

 

Presumably your web server has got a fixed IP address that matches your virtual server setting?

 

Right the web server is not my dns server theres only one machine attached to the router by wire and thats my web server. Yes my web server has a fixed ip address to macth the virtual server settings

 

When i put that into my web browser i get the my web servers website

EDIT:Ive found a page on my router called application gateways. Would this need to be setup. Ive attached a screenshot

 

In the app combo box theres just some stupid apps like quicktime and phone to pc
