Airtel Broadband: Setting up web server on windows

[krtin]

Hardware & Software:
Modem: Beetel 450BXI (The one with inbuilt WIFI)
Operating System: Windows 7
Type of IP: Dynamic IP address
State: The modem is directly connected to PC
speed: 256kbps

I have tried setting the server with Apache and IIS 7,I am able to access my website on localhost and LAN IP Address(even on other devices connected to my WIFI),but not with my WAN IP Address(I have tried on other PC's that are not connected to my network also but in vain).Also I have done port forwarding on port '80' and port '8080' (in case port 80 is blocked).
Hope someone will help me!

Try enabling DMZ on ur LAN IP Address.

Do you have DDNS option in your router ?
see under Advanced options.

Port 80 is used by the router for its web admin interface i think. So the other option is to setup the server on port 8080 and forward the same on the Virtual Servers setup page(try setting the external port as 8080 and internal as 80 or vice versa and see if that works). Configure DynDNS under Advanced Setup>DNS ...post url here after ur done so we can try accessing it. Also try accessing it urself using a proxy service.EDIT: Try forwarding port 80 first by choosing web server from the dropdown menu like in the tutorial posted by essbebe below. If it doesn't work, then try using 8080.

This is not working for me. I went through the steps in the above URL but, even though the modem shows that it will use port 8080, port 80 still gets redirected to the modem config page. So I changed the webserver port to 85 and made changes to the nat configuration with external and internal ports as 85, its not working.
