Hello, I have a laptop running an Apache webserver, and I want it to be viewable acros the internet. It is connected throught the internet by a router, with an ip of 87.209.XXX.XXX, whilst the ip of the laptop is 192.168.X.X. I have been told that I need to configure NAT in the router, but I can't get it to work.

So, what did I do wrong?
 
WAN - LAN set to port 80, then when someone wants to connect from WAN side they put your Internet IP + :80 example: 82.34.22.11:80

That should work.

A couple things that could be wrong:
1. The server IP is not 192.168.1.8 (assuming that IP is supposed to where you are forwarding the ports)
2. Apache is configured to listen on a different port (8080 is common as well)
3. If you can, turn off remote administration on your router. You usually don't want your config pages available to all the world even if it's password protected.

I suppose if all else fails you could just put the laptop into DMZ.

What kind of router are you using? I've not seen the port forward configuration method before.
