I have a Telkom 5102 router, I am using Dinamic DNS to point my domain to my router, I have set up IIS but when I enter my domain, it logs in to the routers config system. So my question it, How do I point it to my server, my server has a static IP [10.0.0.5]
 
Turn off remote management on ur router (this uses port 8080 and so does IIS as default) or set the port of ur IIS server to port 80.
 
You need to enable port forwarding, as the router opens it's own webserver (on port 80) as each request comes in. Give your PC a static IP address, say 10.0.0.10 and enable port forwarding on the router to forward all tcp port 80 requests to your chosen ip address. Lets say you wanted to do a remote desktop connection to your pc, then the router would need to forward port 3389 traffic to your PC's IP address
 
Turbo is right here. If you're trying to hit your web server internally using your ddns hame.domain pair, then it will resolve to the interface of your router and when you hit the internal interface on your router it doesn't apply to port forwarding.

The best way to solve this is to either run an internal DNS for your network (probably overkill) or simply edit you PC's hosts file and put an entry in matching the name of your web server with it's internal (10.x.x.x) ip address.
