WampServer

Hi, how can I enable access to my website outside of my LAN/WAN? I have tried to follow many guides, with no success. I may setup DNS, but right now, I just want to know how to let others access my website via IP address. Can someone PLEASE supply me with an accurate, easy, noob-friendly guide to this? I have tried forwarding port 80 in Windows Firewall (which is off) and in my router config. page (DD-WRT.)

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Hi, when I uncomment "#Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf" in httpd, wamp won't start and remains yellow. When I put it back as a comment, wamp runs fine.

I am using NO-IP DUC to update my IP to my temporary/test domain at dev.servegame.com
My httpd-vhosts.conf looks like this:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.dev.servegame.com
ServerAlias dev.servegame.com domain
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/
ErrorLog C:/wamp/www/domain/logs/error.log
CustomLog C:/wamp/www/domain/logs/access.log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www
ErrorLog C:/wamp/www/logs/error.log
CustomLog C:/wamp/www/logs/access.log common
</VirtualHost>

What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I have tried reading the tutorials from that website, and they didn't really help me at all. The way he enables port 80 is in Windows Vista Firewall, and I have tried in XP Firewall, but still nothing. I have also tried forwarding port 80 in DD-WRT and still no luck.

Note that you can't connect to your webserver using your public ip.
Most router forbid this loopback...

You have to ask someone to access your webserver using your public ip (if from internet) or your lan ip (from lan users)

just as toumimi posted, some routers don't support NAT loopback so you can NOT access your own WAN IP but have to ask someone from outside your LAN to test it out for you, and this one of to many reasons that I like to use Netgear brands as I've just spent only 30 bucks for this router WNR3500 which has 3 most important features for router nowadays: Wireless N, Gigabit ports, and Range Max supported 300Mbps wireless, and 10 pieces WN111 for 10 bucks/each so we can put in 10 rooms for wireless access instead spending too much money to rewire ethernet cable for the whole house

With Netgear routers, it's very easy to setup port forward, remote router access, NAT setup for local web view, so on

Well, I asked my friend to try to connect to my public IP, and it took him to an eHow site on how to bypass fortiguard. wtf. Is there somewhere where I change what IP I'm hosting to? I think I had to something like that for my private IP.

I use DD-WRT in my Linksys and have no problems.
If I type my IP in the address bar My website pops up.
I have not needed to open port 80 in my windows firewall.

You need to tell the internet where your IP is.
This means by DNS or by telling your domain name host.
Have you set up your virtual Host file?

The guides you have been directed to are marvelous.
They worked for me and countless others.

Do you have a domain name or do you just want to get internet traffic to your IP?
Do you have a static IP or a dynamic?
Static is good,dynamic means you need to continually update DNS etc.

If you don't have a domain name then you need to set up DNS.
I set up my DNS here... [www.dyndns.com] and it worked a treat.
Then,later,I got myself a domain name through godaddy.
I now have godaddy directing traffic to my IP.

How do I set up a the virtual host file? Also, I have a dynamic IP due to my family having to use my WAN a lot, but I do have an IP updater for DNS. Also, I may get DNS from dot.tk since they have just launched a new free DNS service.
