No. The router's setup screen shows up when I use the url name; "Index of/" shows up with the LAN address. I'll check this out. Thanks. Since the TiBk is on the same net I thought this might be expected (but not at all desired).
Can you surf it by using the internal (private) LAN IP? How about by the external (public) IP?
If the former works, the G4 is set-up correctly.
If the latter fails, then the router may just not be recognizing the public ip from the private LAN - a feature often called "LocalNAT", but not supported on all routers.

Why isn't that doable?
A syntax such as http://mydomain/~user1 is easily dispatched within Apache.
I could do this pre-router but IIRC the router can only do one forward of a port *and* it seems to direct it to the "main" (excuse my lack of tech savy) page, *not* the /~xxx.
Don't do it "pre-router". Do it in Apache.
The router knows nothing about the alphanumeric contents of the URL. It's just forwarding the request on public:80 to your G4 at private:80. The file to which you dispatch is an Apache set-up issue.
Get it working on http://privateip/ (no username) first. Then work on the ~user. Note that file must not only be named correctly (case sensative!) but the file and directory protection must permit public access!
