Can't get Webserver to show outside localhost

Ok, so here is the deal. I moved into a new house with some fellow geekers. We have are network working like so. Cable modem > Router > Switch. Then 1 ethernet cable goes into my room where I have a HUB going to my Mac, PC, PS2, Gamecube, and XBOX.

Now back in the day I was able to run a webserver (plug: mabans.com) it was nothing more than a portfolio site but it also added that little "wow" factor because it was running from my home. (running PHP, and MySQL of course) I also use DNSupdate to update any ip changes. and Use ZONEedit for DNS services

Now the problem is the following. The DNSupdate does up it on the Zoneedit server but with the local ip 192.168.0.xxx. So If I do it manually it should work right? Wrong. When I put in the domain, still nothing and when I try the Numerical IP i get the router.. So what I can I do to over come this? Thanksin advance.
 
You need to look at the admin docs for the router and learn how to redirect port 80 to your local IP address. This will mean that any http request to your ZONEdit address will come only to your computer (with your net setup no one else in the house can have a normal web server)

I have been having a similar problem - my site (running on 10.2's apache) is kept at a no-ip.com domain name, but recently I have tried to get to it from school to transfer some assignments sans the burned cd, and my domain doesn't seem to work from the windows machines in one class and in the library. Maybe it is just that something odd happens to the home computer when I am at school (no, it doesn't get turned off...), but the no-ip configuration page shows that the domain is pointing to my external IP, and yes I have port 80 forwarded to the local hosting machine.
The service works from my os x computer, the windows XP box in the other room (on the lan) and the os x box running through an anonymous proxy server (insuring that the site is accessed via the internet, not locally.
If anyone could help me it would be nice to throw files back and forth between my cable connection and my school's really fast internet. The domain is kao.sytes.net, but there is just a blank index page there, try kao.sytes.net/school/ , thats the directory I am going to use for school files.

Click to expand...

I have cable and I know that they block Port 80 so I can just change the port value. So the same theory would be apply no matter what port number I use right?
 
Ya, I was just answering for a "usual http" setup -- http daemons can be configured to listen to any port and routers can direct any port request to any local computer.
