I have found that it will work anywhere on my lan by typing the IP address
(not 192.168.*.* but the actual ip address of that is assigned from the isp)
but when you try to type in the web address it fails. This seems familiar
with problems I had when first setting up the server. I had to enable rights
on the routers firewall and virtual server. On the firewall I have allowed
all ports 1-8080 and on the virtual server I am allowing Http(80) and
Https(443). So it seems everything is working on the lan as long as you use
the ip address. I have not tested this on a computer outside of the lan yet,
but I am assuming it will fail. Any more ideas, anyone?
