Help with making a webserver!

[phillum]

I've installed IIS for MS Windows XP and can access my website via the network but not the internet.

I know you have to alter settings in the router I'm using (SMC Barricade). I've added the server IP address which is 192.168.X.XXX into the DMZ and also tried opening up port 80 for incomming connections from the web. Both proved fruitless.

When I enter the Router/Modem's external IP (212.159.XXX.XXX) the browser returns the router's setting page. Why does this happen? I thought if you've told the router to forward all traffic on port 80 to my web server the server's webpage would come up, not the router's page. It does exactly the same when I type in xxxxx.plus.net. Why does this happen?

Try creating a virtual web server within your router and direct it to the 192.168.x.x server IP.

As an addendum, I would like to stress the following:
For your own safety.. If your IP address, accessed through the Internet, is forwarding to your router's config. pages please do not post the IP here for testing.
