Having some problems with router and forwarding ports!

I have a server set up hosting a website on a dyndns.org domain.
This works fine but links direct to the control panel of my router, which is a website!
This means that even when i forward the port 80 for web browsing to my server the router website will still get displayed on the domain !

Any ideas ?

dont know how to, but it turned out that it did work, only that local users cant access it!

Local users will resolve myserver.dyndns.com to your internet IP, which if they are behind NAT they won't be able to see properly.

Add an entry in your hosts file to the internal IP of the server, eg server called fred on 192.168.0.23 add:

192.168.0.23 fred

to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Should work fine.

I'm talking about the internal IP of the server. I'm assuming its natted.
