Public IP Redirects To Router Config Page

  • 3

I’m hosting a web server as part of my project, then I’m using no-ip’s service to get a free DNS (xxx.no-ip.biz) to resolve connection to my external / private IP. I forwarded certain ports (80, 1923, 9135) to my ‘internal’ IP address.

The problem is, when I try accessing the Domain name (xxx.no-ip.biz) within LAN, it gives me my router configuration page, which in fact it should work to redirect incoming connection to my web server. However, the Domain is totally unaccessible from outside / WAN. My windows firewall is closed for testing purposes. So I guess my windows won’t block any of those ports.

Any hints what caused the problem?

      Ok, so when trying to access the server from inside your LAN, you may have to use either the internal ip address of the server, or you have to add an entry in the hosts file of your computer, where you assign the internal ip address to the external used name.

      Hosts file
      E.g:
      127.0.0.1 localhost
      192.168.1.100 xxx.no-ip.biz

      Save the file and try to access the server by e.g. http://xxx.no-ip.biz, from inside your LAN.

      From the internet, you should check, whether the port is really shown as open.

      Here a link to an online port scanner, you can use:
