I am trying to run a webserver through a netgear router with all of the ports fowarded Running apache 1.3.27 on win98.

Why would it not work?

And what ip addy would you have to type in the browser to access the server?
 
If your on your network, you most likely will only be able to get to it by connecting to the local IP of your server. If you want to verify it can be seen from the web, get a friend to check it out...
 
Local server addy is: 192.168.0.3

I'm thinking this is in the reserved addy area like the 10.0.0.X addys are.

Have had multiple friends on multiple connections try at: http://192.168.0.3

They couldn't see the server


I've also tried the noip update programs which failed :(
 
None of your friends will be able to see it via that address as it's a local address only accessible via your own LAN.

You'd need to type in your external IP address in internet explorer to see it. To find it out visit a site such as:

http://www.whatismyipaddress.com/

And visit that ;)

or you can try 127.0.0.1 from your server

but you deffinately need to have your IP provided by your ISP to be able to access your site from the outside
