website and router

Hi,

This may be a very simple question, (I hope). I have a website which i am running from my home computer. When my computer was connected to my modem direct it was working fine. Other day I put one router in between my modem and computer. Now when I type my domain I can not access my website. I checked the IP address, IP address is same that I have in my DNS record.

Please tell me what change I need to make.

Thanks

You need to set up port forwarding. When someone tries to access your web site, the domain is translated to your IP, and the request is sent to your router. Since your router isn't the web server, it ignores it. There should be an option in your router to set the request to be forwarded to the server in your network. If you're lucky enough to have port 80 available (default www port), the request is going to your IP on port 80; you need to tell the router to forward requests at port 80 to the internal IP address (192.168.X.X) of your server.

thanks, I did port forwarding like you mentioned and it works now.
