Just wondering if anyone has a talktalk touter (Echolife HG521) setup with a home server.

I have been trying for months to get this to work with no luck.

Have posted on talktalk forum and tried everything they tell me.

Also tried everything that portforward.com tells me and still cannot get it to work.

So am wondering if anyone has got this to work with a home server and if so how exactly they did it (step by step) so I can get it to work for me

Really would appreciate help here.
 
Thanks for replying

Network .. lost me .. just running xampp on home pc

I had no problems with getting it working with my old router but have changed to the talktalk router and just cannot get it to work
 
Are you setting up a server at home and then trying to access it externally? Did you have a static IP with the previous ISP and now using DHCP?
 
All I know is that I have a url which works with my old router but for some unknown reason the talktalk router does not allow me to access web pages on my server.

I am still with same isp (talktalk) old router worked fine with no problems.

Everytime I enter the url (or ip number) into browser it takes me to the router login page

If I just use localhost then there is no problem and am able to access web pages on my server but I need it to work with url so others can also view by entering url

So am assuming there is a setting somewhere in the talktalk router that is stopping it.
 
Thanks for trying to help oneman, unfortunately still unable to get to work.

have given you a 'thanks'
 
pm the link and I will take a look.

thanks but have gone back to my old router now and all ok

thought someone with same router may have somehow got it to work and could tell me exactly how they did it
