I run a webserver in my house (for development and testing purposes, also for remote access) and have no problems, *except* that I had to go to the webpage of my dsl modem and configure my home router as a dmz host. So, my configuration looks like:
<br><br>Modem gets external IP address on dsl side<br>Modem assigns <a href="http://192.168.0.1">192.168.0.1</a> to it's ethernet port<br>Modem uses dhcp to assign <a href="http://192.168.0.2">192.168.0.2</a> to my home router
<br><br>Therefore I have to tell the modem, via <a href="http://192.168.0.1/">http://192.168.0.1/</a> to treat <a href="http://192.168.0.2">192.168.0.2</a> as a dmz host so that it merely forwards all traffic to it and let me manage the rules through the router's interface.
