actually.. port mapping.. so both the LAN and WAN can access via the same url

currently if access from WAN, mydomain.hopon.net:8060/myapp works.. but if access from the same LAN as the server (behind the router) mydomain.hopon.net:8060/myapp does not work and it only shows timeout on the browser but can access other internet sites such as yahoo.com but not mydomain.hopon.net:8060/myapp

Let me pin out this for you as I cant solve it till today, maybe i was just too lazy to crack my head on it at my clients place.

I problem lies in the NAT Loopback or also known as NAT Reflection. It depends on what type of chipset the router uses. A few routers can solve the IP address that is masked by DNS. Some routers just cant. For more advance routers like cicso and mikrotik im sure there a work around.

Please input if the info was helpful and if you found a way around the loopback and reflection.
