Here's my setup:
I've got a cable modem that's connected to the internet and to my router. Connected to my router I have a laptop (wifi) and two desktops - my server and my desktop. My router is set to forward all ports to my server.
When I ask other people to try and access my public IP or my domain name (http://zoklet.net/) from outside of my network, they are able to get there with no problem. When I try to access the server from within the network with its my external IP or domain name, the connection times out. I *can* access my server if I use the local IP (192.168...).
Obviously, I would like to be able to access my server from inside the network with my external IP or domain name. I know I can just edit /etc/hosts and add a line for my server, but I don't want to have to do that for each computer that connects to my network.
My router is a Netgear WGR614 v6 and my modem is a Motorola Surfboard.
Any help, please?
