internal recognition of www.domain.nl

I want to access my own website (self hosting)on my LAN with
www.mydomain.nl
I only can access it with the IP-adres of the webserver. When using
www.mydomain.nl I end up in my modem/router asking for my
userid/password.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong.
I use Apache 2 and Win XP-pro

Switch off the webinterface of your modem/router.

Or add www.mydomain.nl to the 127.0.0.1 line in your host file,
usually C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\etc\hosts

To access the server on its original WAN address (the IP address
www.mydomain.nl resolves to), you need either "NAT loopback" in
your router, or access it via an external http proxy server
outside your local network.

In both cases, and in order to access it from outside, you will
have to setup NAT for incoming traffic on port 80 in your
router.
Many of the question in this group are about that, you can find
more detailed explanations in Google groups.

Hope this helps.

Hi Kees
Thanks, sofar adding www.mydomain.nl to my host file works for the PC
with the webserver, but not for the other PC's. I probably have to add
it to the host files of the other PC's as well but then with the
IP-address of the webserver?

If I switch of the webinterface of my modem/router: How do I access it?

Exactly. The address on the LAN that is, so 10.x.x.x or
192.168.x.x

I don't have the faintest idea. That info should be in the
configuration guide of the modem/router. If you can't find it,
or have problems using it, the support newsgroup of your ISP is
a better place to ask for help. Its news archives can be found
at: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=nl&group=xs4all.adsl

There are a lot of knowledgeable people at xs4all, so the answer
probably is already there.
