WebServer on Belkin Wireless Router

[FireFerum]

I have a Belkin wireless router to which my DSL is plugged in. I need to run a webserver and I am using Apache. This server worked at school but I am out on break so I cannot keep the computer there. When I got home, I did everything to make this work but no luck. I made my computer's address, the one from the router static. Then, I went to the router's configuration and opened ports 80 and 8080 on both TCP and UDP from Virtual Server. Now, it is odd because I have an IP address given by my ISP, but that one does not show up in Belkin's Status window as being the address it is connected to. The address it tells me has 192.168.1 in it meaning it is made up by itself. Either way, I need to run this webserver. If anyone has any ideas please help!!! :(

Are you confused about the addressing used by the router?

The router gets its WAN address from the ISP (the one they allocated you). The router hands out (DHCP service) internal LAN addresses to any devices connected to it (wired or wireless).
Check the Belkin router, typically it will have 192.168.1.1. as its own LAN address (the LAN gateway) and give out 192.168.1.*
The first device shoud get 192.168.1.2

You have to ensure you forwarded the ports to the correct internl LAN address.

Here is my configuration:
Router Address: 192.168.2.1
Computer with Webserver: 192.168.2.47
Actual IP address: 65.81.47.57
Connection Type: Dynamic IP address
Ports open: 80, 8080 on TCP and UDP

This is what the router shows me:
Cable/DSL: CONNECTED
WAN IP: 192.168.1.97
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP: 192.168.1.254
DNS: 192.168.1.254
Secondary DNS: 192.168.1.254

The troubles are that first of all how does the WAN IP come out to be 192.168.1.* when the router can only allocate 192.168.2.* Is it from the DSL modem which might have an internal router? It has both USB and Eternet connection types but I have it set up for Ethernet. It used to be PPPoE but that stopped working one day and so I made it Dynamic from the router and it works.

Basically all I want it to have my website up again even if I have to keep changing the IP address in the DNS forwarding from where I bought my domain name. That is whenever I have to reconnect my DSL modem, I would change the IP address. Any suggestions?

Yes, it might be a modem/router - what make/model is it ?

I have a Westell WireSpeed modem, but looking at the webpage it looks as if it is the Dual Connect Bridge or NAT Router cause it has both USB and Ethernet Ports. Both images on the website look the same so it might even be the router. Only problem is that this router has no port for the other computers. So maybe it wants just a Hub? So now I might have to look for a wireless Hub if there even is such a thing... I am so confused... what do I do?
