Telkom ADSL Router POTS & Dynamic IP

I used to use No-IP to host my own websites but then it did not function properly after a while and I started hosting with godaddy. But the costs involved and the fact that I cannot install software of my choice(like FireBird SQL instead of MySQL) has prompted my to reconsider. I have now gone for dns2go. I can see my webpage/s from my other PC's (after editing the hosts file & and editing certain settings in the Router setup) but the outside world cannot see it (http://www.realwebonline.net)?
Can anybody help me?

you need to set up port forwarding on the router to forward port 80 to the correct machine.

i currently get a 401 error when connecting to your domain, which indicates that your router i handling the request and not forwarding it to your pc.

http://www.realwebonline.net/ is protected with web server authentication. Your home page requires a username and password to load. So I think you must be very close to getting it working.

Personally I prefer www.no-ip.com 's interface for doing dynamic DNS.

have a look at this post regarding port forwarding (do not know if the info is any good).

No need to do port forwarding with dynamic DNS.

for current settings
10.0.0.2 is the IP address of the "web server" PC

401 error should not happen as there is a webpage.
Should say
"This is http://www.realwebonline.net"

now i get:
realwebonline.net
The DNS2Go customer you are trying to reach is currently offline.

 

[andres101]

back online now. still requires authentication though:
HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized
Server: Apache/0.6.5
Content-type: text/html
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="System Setup"

you can use domain dossier to check.

perhaps have a look at your apache logs to check if you can see the incoming request.

And now they are all working!

Thx to all of you who chipped in - I must say I did not change much - except the LAN to ATM2.
