Webserver config on Netgear DG834

I have an axis 2130 IP cam running on my network. Assigned ip of 192.168.0.9. Access to it lan side is fine, but I want to run a webserver & access it from the internet. Port forwarding on the dg834 I thought was straightforward.....nah. tcp 80 in & out in firewall rules, lan server being th ip of the computer running the server. No software firewall to mess it up, running xp pro sp2 with native firewall disabled.

Additional points available for the heads up on the best adsl router from a config perspective as the options on the dg834 don't impress

All I get when I enter my static ip address wan side is the login page for my router. Tried dyndns.org but cant connect. Confused & stressed....help appreciated.

yeah, that will always happen.

you personally will only be able to access the webserver via LAN IP..
unfortunatly you will have to get a friend on the outside of you network to test your stuff.

hope this helps

I had the same problem and fixed it by installing the MS-LoopBack-Device and assigning it my momentary dynamic IP.
For testing purposes a not too stressy and functional workaround.
