Doing Port Forwarding

[jesus4u]

I am new to Port Forwarding and I have supposedly set up my Netopia router to forward incoming requests to one of the computers in the office. If I set the port to be used as www-http 80 do I type the address something like:

216.222.336.225:80

thanks

to access the machine from outside, you do. not to set up the router.

you would use the internal network address (usually 192.168.*.*) of the computer that is hosting the web server application. you should assign this machine a static ip address within the internal network.

Then your the public ip address of your internet connection should be accessible by typing

(assuming 216.222.336.225 is your public ip)

http://216.222.336.225 in a browser window... there is no need to explicitly say the port if you are using port 80.
