Changing router broke my site - help!


[link to this post]
 
I have 3 PC's all going into the same router. One of these PC's had a webpage on them that someone could visit by typing in the url. It was something like:

http://111.222.333.444/upload/index3.htm

My router was getting old so I changed it to a Netgear DG834G.

All the PC's can still talk to each other via the network. But for some reason, the above url no longer works. I can access the upload page using my internet IP number. But when I get someone from outside the network to try to access it, it comes up "the connection has timed out". This has happened for the last 4 days, which was when I swapped the routers over.

What do you think could be causing this? How can I diagnose the problem?

Thanks,

Jon

sounds like you need to set port/ip forwarding.

I'm assuming the ip typed in is the one given to you by your isp. I'm thinking you will need to set your router up to redirect this to the required pc's internal ip, although I'm not sure how that will work with the full address like you have it, never done it that way or for webhosting but should be the same issue.

Login to the router and Forward port 80 to the machine on the network which hosts the website.
