Hi Paul,
Season's Greetings
Your internal IP addresses definitely won't be of the form 192.168.1 as it is not a full
32 bits. Most likely you made a typo.
Your internal addresses will be most likely of the form 192.168.0.X
where X might be, for example 99.
1) Do you know the internal IP address of your power switch?
2) Has your service provider provided you with a fixed IP address for your
connection or does it change every time you connected your router to the ISP?
Typically in the Port Mapping dialog for the router you are going to add a rule to
provide HTTP on External Port 80 to your power switch IP address, for example
192.168.0.99, on its Internal Port 80. That will then expose the web server on
the switch to the outside world.
