[Xitami] Linksys Router and Xitami

[Mike McDaniel]

I did setup the machine containing the web server for manual TCP/IP (static)
192.168.1.2 and included the cable DNS's, and domain name. No help there.

I see in the router the area for mac address ghosting, and with a
ipconfig/all in cmd window the mac address or the cable modem is revealed.
Is this what I put into the router and is that called mac ghost overlay?

I'll promptly stop DMZ as you suggest and continue to forward 21, 80 and 81
to 192.168.1.2. Is this correct?

If I browse the www.myurl.com from my network, it works fine, but not from
the internet. So perhaps the mac address ghosting is the critical element
here.
