Hello there all,

I have a server acting as router for my internal network. My 2 internal
computers are connected via this server to the internet, the sever running
apache among other services. Recently I discovered that my ISP had unblocked
port 80, so I just changed my webserver from port 8080 to 80, and opened up both
ports as Listening ports in Apache (to redirect users going to the old
addresses). This works great.

However I now have one small problem: In the internal network, whenever I type a
non-existant URL, I get my own main apache site, and not an error that the URL
does not exist, or cannot be reached. This does not happen from the server
itself (tested), only both computers connected through it.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? As far as DNS goes, I use my ISP's
DNS. It seems the dns returned for a non-existant URL gets translated in my
internal network as the IP of my own server, which is wierd.

It may always have been this way (I'm not sure), but previously as I mentioned,
my webserver was on port 8080, and 80 was blocked, so this may have been the
reason it always worked...

But now I have opened 80,, and as I said, any IP unresolved gets translated as
my own apache server on my own server :-(
Any ideas how to fix this, or maybe what the cause could be?

Any ideas would be great, thanks in advance.
Greetings
Ralph
