You're not suppose to connect to your internal ip.. your suppose to connect to your external ip (aka localhost) with DMZ enabled.

And simpledns doesnt give you a free www.com, what it does is let you set up a server where people can make www.com domains. But the thing is for that to work you need to be a registered DNS server, which you are not, so it wont work.

However, your router will drop the incoming connection attempt on port 80 because it doesn't know where to send it.  So you need to forward port 80 to your INTERNAL IP (start => run => cmd => ipconfig, "IP address"). It'll be in the NAT/NAPT section, probably next to uPnP.


I've forwarded that port to my internal ip...though it still doesnt work :(

Restart your router.
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.

Johny - due to the way home routers work etc, your router is being assigned your external ip address and your computer is being assigned an internal one.

If you want to access your web server as if you were outside of your home network (for example, anyone else trying to view your server) you will need to go through a proxy - since I'm in the UK and on blueyonder broadband I can use webcache.blueyonder.co.uk, try and find out what your ISP provides in the way of a proxy. If they don't provide one, check out http://www.stayinvisible.com for a list of available proxies.

As Segosa said, you will also have to "forward" all requests on port 80 from your router to your computer. To do this, login to your routers web interface, and choose port forwarding / virtual server / nat (or something similar). You will then have to forward requests on Port 80 TCP and UDP to your machines internal IP address.

Save your settings and you should be ok now. It is best to setup your computer to use a static IP address, rather than a dynamic one, so that you don't need to change the routers config if the IP address changes.
