home server - router config not web server...

hi guys,

i have set up an apache server on my home computer... but when i type the ip into another computer... i get the login request for my router config... so how do i get external traffic to talk directly to my apache server which is (as far as the router is concerned) one of the network computers?

i'm sure its a common problem but i haven't any experience with stuff like this...

muchos gracias

i'm just puttin in my wan address...

i have set incoming traffic on port 80 to go to my lan IP, but still get the router config

right, is port forwarding the same as creating a custom service and adding it to the firewall rules pointed to my internal ip?

remote management wasn't on...
