For your site to work on the public internet, it must have (at least) a public IP address. It can also have a proper domain name (eg, www.nilsborgje.com) that resolves to the IP address. To learn more about this, go to google and enter "DNS how it works". Then read on... > > 1. I have checked all possible problem by turning off Norton Antivirus > and such stuff... > 2.

The other This IP address is not public. The 192.168 range is reserved for private LANs and cannot be used on the public internet. I'm guessing you have an ADSL router, if so, you need to put here the *public* IP of your router (the router has two interfaces; the internal one connects to your computer and has an internal IP, eg 192.168.0.1. The external interface connects to the internet and has a randomly assigned IP. To see it, go to the config screen of the router and look for it - try browsing http://192.168.0.1 or whatever the router's IP is). NB - your router's public IP will change frequently. Probably after every reconnect and maybe even every 24 hours if you leave it on... If you need a fixed IP, you need to pay extra - contact your ISP for details.
