Jim. Thanks for the reply. Thats the problem. The static Ip address is in
the first two urls but the url flips to that of the router as soon as a
booking request is made from the outside to the server behind the router.
Any ideas how Apache being used with Windows XP can be structured to
overcome this and retauin the static IP that you see in the early screens
below? Is it a config problem; a router proble; or what?
Any help gratefully received.

Hi. I have a problem!
I am using Apache along with a software system on a server at a club.
The system is accessed over Internet to make bookings. There is a router
in between the club LAN and the Internet. There is a static IP address
for the server. The first message from the Internet to the club that
activates two introductory screens works fine and you will see an example
with amended - for security reasons - IP addresses below. The first
interaction from the customer, when booking details are sent to the
server over Internet, causes the http IP address to change to that of the
router after which the booking sequence falls over because the server can
no longer be accesed over Internet.
USING WEB ADDRESS
First screen
http://www.xxx.
2ndscreen
http://www.xxx/cgi-bin
3rd screen where problem begins and router IP address is substituted
http://192.168.0.2/cgi-bin/ai
Sure will cause a problem! You are using an address that can not EVER be
accessed via the internet. Your 192.168... address is the NATed address
on your LAN, and is in one of the private IP ranges that works fine on a
local LAN, but not on the internet. For someone to access your server
from the internet, they must specify (or follow a link to) a public IP
address (the WAN side of your router), or a URL that can point to public
IP address via DNS.
