I downloaded wamp and put my website files in the WWW folder and i put my DNS thing in adress bar and it takes me to router login..

[Mesmoras]

Ummm... You put your DynDNS? When setting up you DynDNS at Dyndns.com, or w/e you did it, did you put your external IP in or your router IP? It should have been your external IP. You can get your external IP by clicking the link under the IP address box.

I used no-ip which is pretty much same thing i think.. lol. And when i set it up at no-ip.com it auto puts my ip there which you know is like 70.blah.blah.

EDIT: There is diffrent host types on the setup..

DNS Host (A)

DNS Host (Round Robin)

DNs Alias (Cname)

Port 80 Redirect

Web Direct

Your hostname can be DNS Host, DNS Alias, or Web Redirect.

A DNS host maps your hostname to an IP address that can be updated using our dynamic DNS update client. 

A DNS round robin maps your hostname to multiple IP addressese that can be updated using our dynamic DNS update client. Use round robin when you want to load balance multiple servers such as web or mail. 

A DNS alias (CNAME) maps your host to another DNS hostname. DNS aliases simplify the updating of many hosts with the same IP addresses. Just update the target host and all DNS alias hosts pointing to the target are updated. If you use a URL, you cannot access your computer via that name. 

Port 80 redirects are used to get around ISPs that block inbound port 80. By using the port 80 redirect type and running your webserver on an alternate port you can run a webserver and your users will not have to type a port number in the url. 

A URL redirect maps your hostname to a URL of your choosing. URL redirects only work for HTTP and cannot be used to access your computer.

ok so do i put my ip or 192.168.1.103?

EDIT: ok that didnt help all it does it go to router login....

[Mesmoras]

Oh, ok I just looked at the layout of no-ip.com add hostname thing. Anywho, where it says hostname, you put what you want the beginning of you site, then choose which type you want it as. And for the IP, it should already be filled in. Click the wildcard box, and then submit. Your done!

I cant you have to pay 10$ for it...

[Mesmoras]

Then go to dyndns.com and create a domain then. You can enable it there. It's pretty straight forward. But if you do get stuck, just ask.

[cpskater]

ok thats what i'm doing now.. But I can use this to host server and website right?

[Mesmoras]

Yep, as long as you get the external IP right.

OMG IT STILL WANTS ME TO LOGIN TO MY ROUTER WHEN I GO TO THE WEBSITE... ARG!

TRy and go to www.darkshadow.game-host.org and tell me what you see..

[Mesmoras]

Ok then your probably, still, putting in your router IP into the IP box. Go to whatismyip.com and it will tell you the IP you need to put in that box...
