i need help!

i have my apache installed, and enabled, but when i go my external ip address, it loads my router configuations interface...

wtf?

does anyone know how to solve this?

p.s. i have a 'linksys WRT54GS' wireless router.
 
laderan210,

This isn't a wireless problem per se. You need to set up port forwarding from your router's public IP address to your Apache server's internal IP address.

All manufacturers have a different interface for doing this. Check your documentation or the Linksys's web site.

Your router doesn't support loopback, so when you're internal to the network, you'll have to access it by the private IP address.
