Hi all,
I've been trying to set up port-forwarding; I want to redirect traffic that comes in to my router to my workstation, in my case 192.168.0.2 [although strangely enough whether I go to 192.168.0.2 or 192.168.0.4 locally, I can get to my test page... odd]. Since we have dynamic IPs I've created a dyndns account, and now if I go to domain name, I can get in to my router remotely. The thing is, that I don't want to access my router from this site, I want to access my particular workstation. I've tried setting up port-forwarding but I don't think I understand how to exactly. What I've done is go into my router, gone to firewall rules, added an inbound service (HTTP (TCP:80)), set it to allow always and sent it to lan server 192.168.0.2.

After all of this, if I go to the domain name I registered with dyndns, absolutely nothing happens. I have no idea what to do next, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Open the ports in Windows Firewall as well.

You may need to disable remote management for the router or change it to another port like 8080.
