I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 V2 with firmware of 2/03. I have Earthlink DSL which is plugged into the WAN port of the Linksys router. On my private LAN I have 2 PC's both of which have internet access. On one PC I am running IIS and have a site hosted. I have purchased a static IP from Earthlink also. When I try to access the site that I am hosting or the IP address from one of the 2 PC's on my LAN, I get redirected to the Earthlink DSL Modem setup page! However I can access my website from any computer outside of my private network, therefore I think it may be either a DNS or routing issue. I have also tried this with my Linux box and the same result with Apache. I have the Linksys setup to obtain a IP dynamically,and I have DHCP enabled on the Linksys. I have tried to set the Linksys to use a static IP for WAN but I cannot get a connection that way. I have entered the DNS servers that Earthlink has provided and still to no avail. Anyone ever see this before? I have had a few DSL providers and never have run into this issue before! Any help or suggestions would be great!
 
Your router does not do reverse-forwards.

Use the local LAN-side IP address from your LAN clients to access the website.
 
I have never had a problem with reverse forwards before...What exactly do I need to do?
