Wrong way. In order to access a "localhost" you need to be using your machine IP address or localhost ip address, not the WAN IP address. > But it just goes to the Router firewall page.

Setting up port forwarding on a router is a minimum level task that has to be done to operate a server from the router. If you simply want to access a local http server, simply type in: "http://localhost/"; and away you go. -- Bryan Phinney
