Router hogging port 80

[Martin+Williams]

I'm trying to host a website off of a NAS device, but it keeps saying that port 80 is taken and visiting my IPv4 address in the browser just takes you to the same place as 192.168.0.1. How do i stop it hogging port 80?

Do you know the NAS you use and whether it has uPnP enabled for incoming traffic?

And whether you have any other devices using port 80 incoming from the internet? And you'll need to query your public IP address to see the website, not the LAN router address which is internal only.

You'll need to port forward 80 through the router unless the NAS supports uPnP to open the port publically for internet traffic.

Thank you! I enabled uPnP and once I updated it with my DNS provider it fixed the issue.
