Hello, I'm trying to access my router via the Internet (WWW) but when I go to type my IP address (or IP & host) from an external computer it just says page cannot be displayed. How can I access my router from the WWW?

It is a router or a NAT box? Did you turn on the remote management? Is your external PC IP address (and port number) in "Allow remote access by" list? The router IP is a static IP address? ( if not, idle timeout=?)

It is a router. How do I turn on remote management and 'Allow Remote Access'?
The router has a dynamic IP address, but Its usually allways the same as I dont often reboot it.

What sort of router? I have a Netgear RP614 and the remote access is working, but only with a port no : http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 (xxx.xxx.. is the router external (WAN) address). To set the remote management for RP614 you have to access the router settings pages via your LAN, http://your_router_LAN_IP.

To connect to a router's admin interface via the WAN port, you might have to enable the feature in the router, then use the router's public IP address and the same port.
Miscellaneous Configuration: HTTP server access,port etc, ???

If no one here is familiar with your router, you will have to check with the manufacturers documentation to see if is even an option. If it is, they'll have information on how to activate it and access it. If it is not an option, you can always setup remote access to one of your internal computers (if the router can forward ports and you know how to do it), and then from that local computer, access the router's configuration.
