Babar, Please advise the hostname you are using to access your website from your current location. If the DNS is pointed to your router's IP, then it will open your router's management page. Also, if it's pointed to your home IP, and you have remote management enabled, then it will show it also. Your best bet is to go with one of the following options: 1) Transfer the contents of your site to a hosting company, and they will provide a public domain/IP for you to host the content on. 2) Setup port-forwarding on your router to translate inbound 80/tcp requests to your webserver's LAN IP (e.g 192.168.1.10, 10.0.0.2) Without knowing a little more about your setup, it's going to be difficult to assist you, but I am glad to help if I can.
