[Help] Wamp Website

[avc]

Ok I just made a website using Wamp 2 apache. I can't connect using my External IP or my DynDNS. But, I can connect to it using my Internal IP. Or 127.0.0.1. Ive read many different posts and it seems i'm the first one to encounter this issue. Im sure is somthing easy and im just missing it. If anyone knows how to fix this, please help.
Thanks.

Setup your hosts file like this:

# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

YOURPUBLICIP       localhost
127.0.0.1            localhost

If you dont know your hosts file is located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\ect
Just open it with Notepad.

did you get a site? Reserved posted a guide on this and gives you a link to get a site address. Then that should work for ya. I had the same problem also forward port 80.

[avc]

Yeah I did follow Reserved's guide and Yes I do have a website. I changed around my hosts file too. And all of those port ARE open. I can connect to it using my Internal IP and or local host. Also if it helps, I did connect ONCE using my DynDNS url. Any more help would be appreciated, Im really stuck haha. Ive tried everything and read guides and fourms all over the internet on how to fix this. It seems im the only one... Haha.

The hosts file won't really fix the problem anywhere but on that machine (anybody else trying to access your site will have the same issues).

In your httpd.conf file what does the line that starts with Listen say?

[avc]

80, Thats all haha. And yes, that port is open. Im sure of it.

Yeh thats normal for him not being able to connect with his own external IP, it does that as a default for windows. As long as port 80 is open and the server is working correctly, people from outside can connect.

[avc]

Other people cannot connect to my website. Even in my LAN. Although they can using my Internal IP.

[Ultrapowa]

even if people can connect to you with your external IP you will never be able to do it too. it is how work routers.

if you want to check all is fine online, use a webproxy like Web Proxy Online - Free Anonymous Web Surfing for example.

you should also check you put the site online in wamp param (click on the icon in the task bar, put online)

[avc]

Yes my wamp server is Online and I tried connecting through the webproxy and it failed every time. Something is blocking my External IP. Ive tried everything...

Have you tried taking your router out of the question and connecting the machine running apache directly to the internet? This will let you know if it's a router issue or no.

[avc]

Yes, my router is not the issue. I may have figured it out im not sure... Theres a Malware virus called 007guard that redirects you to certain websites for advertising. Im not sure if this is the issue but just found out I have this virus. Ive been looking all over the internet on how to remove it but everything just seems to say "Run a virus scan." I have, and it didnt find it. Im going to look around a bit to see if I can find a solution to my "007guard" virus. If anyone has infomation on this please, Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
