I am behind a router. I type in my custom DNS domain name from local network and browser says "could not open page..." From WAN I can access my domain without a problem. What am I doing wrong? I have a D-Link DI-604 Router. Can I congigure NetInfo Manager in such a way that my loopback address is my router's IP address??

  I have a similar problem. From another computer on my LAN, I can access the web server. But oddly enough, when I type in it's private IP, 127.0.0.1 or localhost.. it does not work. It's exasperating.
  
  It works without the router.......... maybe I'll smash it to bits.

  DNS is your address for the web
  localhost will work without internet services.
  
  if you cant access your site from the web ie typing in your DNS.
  1 your routers ports maybe closed
  2 your nat for your router could be configured wrong
  3 your server might not be started
  
  from the sound of what you are saying you routers DMZ host might not be correct. On your mac you will use the DMZ host ip address as your network ip address in the preferences pane
