Router and Web server

I have ADSL router SpeedStream 5861.
I try to access from the Web to my index.html but I get the router page instead of my Server.
When I use some other common ADSL modem, everything work great.

So, I try to work-a-round and got this from their forum:
---------
You cannot access your server on the same LAN by using it's Domain Name (FQDN) or Public IP Address as loopback is completely disabled in quite a few SoHo Routers. It's a feature found in some, but not all Routers (it used be only in units starting at $600.00 and up until a few years ago). There is nothing you can do to enable loopback either. Sorry.

However, there are 3 work-a-rounds:

1) You can use the server's Private LAN IP to access it.
2) You can use a web proxy to access it (»www.guardster.com) by FQDN.
3) You can add an entry into your HOSTS file that shows your server domain name linked to the Private LAN IP.
---------

So, point 3) is interesting. Does it mean that I have to add entry into httpd.conf ? Any suggestion ?

Did you try virtualhost yet? Configure in http.conf in wamp/apache2/conf
Hope this help
