Norman!Thanks for the encouragement! I feel like I slamming my head against a telephone pole as I am getting nowhere. My DSL modem that connects me to the internet has the static IP address of "66.113.46.108 michaelsrogers.com". I know the problem is between the DSL modem and my Apache Server. Just where I don't know. In the host file on the machine that the Apache is on I made the entry of "10.0.0.115 michaelsrogers.com". This same machine has an IP address of 10.0.0.115 and seems to be staying with it even though I have rebooted several times.
On this machine, if you type in your browser: michaelsrogers.com it should work without even going through the router
In my Linksys router I have made the port forwarding entries to point to "10.0.0.115 on port 80. When I turn off the DHCP server in my computer that has the Apache on it, and make it a static IP address then none of my computers will connect to the internet There is something that I missed. I am going to try going into TCP/IP settings in the alternate Configuration tab in use the first three lines and see what happens. The statement in the setting tab says "if this computer is used on more then one network. enter the alternate IP settings below." Expect for the one guy/gal who made the inappropriate remark, I have appreciated the help that everyone has given me so far. I would just ask that everyone please be patient with me, and I might just get the problem resolved with your help!*Are you hosting www.michaelsrogers.net on your apache server or on ipower? I'm confused as to why your .net and .com addresses resolve to different ip addresses. Do you want the outside world to see the .com address?
As long as your 'server' computer keeps the same address, the port forwarding should work fine as long as your provider doesn't block port 80. A big problem could be if your router won't allow you to 'visit' your own server from inside your network. I have the same problem with my newest netgear router. I had to set the hosts file like you above. If you have more than one computer in your network, you need to create the same entries in their hosts files if you intend on viewing your website from them as well. If this is the case then more than likely you need to have your router set as the DHCP server (the router assigns addresses) and then in the LAN IP setup you tell it to assign the same address (you enter the address) to the same computer every time.
