Problem with my IP

Hello,

I would like some professional help.
It has to do with Dekaron, but also with my IP messing around.

I'll tell the story now.

I noticed three days ago that when I type my external IP in the adress bar it takes me to my router configuration page.

This was weird because it usually took me to a xampp page before.

When I type down anything else, like externalIP/something it redirects me to a site saying

Access Error: 404 -- Not Found

I didn't understand first why this error page came up but then I thought, if ext.IP redirects to router conf site then making a / and typing something else would not take me anywhere, because trying to go to a site and just typing a / and something random after it wont take you anywhere.

It's like if I type [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Takes us to a 404 error page, right?

So what can I do to make xampp redirections work again?

I can type localhost/xampp and stuffs like that, and it'll work, but I have to type localhost before and that means it's not public... I want my sites open for public, otherwise if htdocs ain't redirecting right, then Launcher isn't working for me.

Launcher gives me this error when I open it: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found.

That's all I get and this has been bothering me for three days, someone with knowledge within this IP thing area. Please help me?

I have skype, and I also have TeamViewer if you want to check my files.
PM me if you need contact info, I'll not post them here in public.

EDIT: Wanted to add this, If I type down 192.168.1.64 on the adress bar it takes me to abnormaldekaron.no-ip.org
Why is that?
Maybe it happens because I downloaded livemaps?

Thanks

Some kind of help would be appreciated!

192.168.x.x are local IP addresses that will work to connect with other machines only within your local network.

What is sounds like is that you need forward port 80 from your pc through your router. This will allow people from outside of your local network access view your site via your external IP address.

If typing a local IP, or any address takes you somewhere else than the intended target, then check your hosts file on your machine.

Try NOT to use port 80. This maybe blocked,

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

My provider "Telenet" is blocking all ports from 0 to 1024, so i cannot use port 80
Try to use an alternative port, in your case 8080 is prefferd

if your external IP is taking you to ur router config, then you need another router, or maybe you arent using your actual external IP, the only IP that should take you to your router config is the gateway LAN IP, which depending on your router should be something like 192.168.1.1, if ppl outside ur local network can get to ur router config, even if its password protected, then this is very very bad/extremely unsecure.

and if port 80 was blocked by ur ISP, then you wouldnt even get to ur router config, which means that you arent forwarding ur ports correctly

in most routers, they use qa DHCP which is basically a function inside the router that hands out LAN IPs, if your PC isnt set up for a static LAN UP then the LAN IP you are forwarding the ports to, may not be the LAN IP that is assigned to the PC that the xampp is on

so i think this is your issue, you need to go into ur network connections and set up a static LAN IP address, and be sure you DO NOT use a LAN IP that the DHCP uses, otherwise more issues will ensue, most router use 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.100 so set it up using something like 192.168.1.250

You still can access all your ports from your local network, but once past the modem, they are blocked

but only if you connect from using ur LAN IP, if you use your external IP then you will be blocked.

Exactly
