I want to access my own website (self hosting)on my LAN with
www.mydomain.nl
I only can access it with the IP-adres of the webserver. When using
www.mydomain.nl I end up in my modem/router asking for my
userid/password.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong.
I use Apache 2 and Win XP-pro

Hi Kees
Thanks, sofar adding www.mydomain.nl to my host file works for the PC
with the webserver, but not for the other PC's. I probably have to add
it to the host files of the other PC's as well but then with the
IP-address of the webserver?

If I switch of the webinterface of my modem/router: How do I access it?

Groet X

Exactly. The address on the LAN that is, so 10.x.x.x or
192.168.x.x

I don't have the faintest idea. That info should be in the
configuration guide of the modem/router. If you can't find it,
or have problems using it, the support newsgroup of your ISP is
a better place to ask for . Its news archives can be found
at: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=nl&group=xs4all.adsl

There are a lot of knowledgeable people at xs4all, so the answer
probably is already there.
