    Hi there I am having trouble launching my newly created site, please refer to the diagram below.

    here is the current behaviour:

    1) if I enter MY_IP I get the Shared IP page (EXPECTED)
    2) if I enter MY_IP:80 I get the admin login page (EXPECTED)
    3) If I enter www.XX.com (My domain) I get the Shared IP page
    (NOT EXPECTED)
    4) If I enter www.XX.com:81 I get a timeout (NOT EXPECTED)

    basically i can not launch my newly created site, note the the name of this site is the same as my server (i.e. www.XX.com ) as I am hoping to use this site to present (i.e introduce ) my server.

    below is the configuration and setup diagram

    Code:
    Yahoo Domain                                                Modem

    Hi there all, just for completeness and the intent to share information I thought would mention that I have resolved this problem.

    The issue was the actual forwarding of the domain, as I was just testing I attempted to forward to MY_IP which was a dynamic IP address.

    I now changed that to

    Forward = MY_FIXED_IP and it worked : )

    Code:
    
Yahoo Domain                                                Modem
+-------------------------------------+          +------------------------+ 
| Forward = [COLOR="Red"]MY_FIXED_IP[/COLOR]               |          |                        |
|  masked                             |---->|[COLOR="Red"]MY_FIXED_IP [/COLOR]|                 |
|                                     |          |       |                              |
|                                     |          | forward ports 80 & 81  |
|                                     |          |       |                       |
|                                     |          |       |                       |
