Router – Zyxel p-2602HW-1DA – LAN to WAN routing problems

local-area-networkrouterurlwide-area-networkzyxel

Got a new router yesterday (due to new internet supplier) and now all my requests for my own server (local lan) is routed directly to the router instead of the server, when using dns.

Ex.
I have a website www.mysite.org running on my server at home (local lan).
From work I can access it via www.mysite.org, which is great.
But from home (local lan) my request's for www.mysite.org gets rerouted to the routers web admin interface
My last router didn't do this.

My new router is a Zyxel P-2602HW-1DA, my old one was a LinkSys WRT-54GC V. 2.0.

There's a rather wierd WAN-LAN, WAN-WAN setup interface which I cant really comprehend yet and the docs are rather vague.

Have anyone had the same problem and can anyone guide me to a solution, would nice not write the ip address everytime i need to access the server on local lan. :).

Kind regards

I found a solution thanks to this guy http://forum.zyxel.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=398 at Zyxel forums. Quote:

Once all things are working fine . . if one want to reach inside servers with public dns name (e.h myservername.dyndns.org), just log via telnet (or ssh) on router. Goto 24.8 (if a grafic interface exists) and type ip nat loopback on. It will work until reboot. to keep this add the command to autoexec.net file sys edit autoexec.net to modify sys view autoexec.net to read it.

That was it :).
