[HELP] Home server on VM XP

Hi everyone, i have a windows xp sp2 pc and i have installed the virtualbox from which i get another xp sp2, i refer to first (real-xp) as xp and the latter (virtual-xp) as vm-xp. What i'm trying to do is get a web server in the vm-xp. I have a DSL line, a netgear router and an no-ip account ( +the updater). I configured the router so to give static local ips to xp( -> 192.168.0.3) and to vm-xp( -> 192.168.0.5). I brideged the interfaces ofxp and vm-xp, so the vm-xp gets 192.168.0.5. I run the no-ip updater and have a dns like help.no-ip.org . Now i use the easyphp program to run the server in the virtualbox. I edit the conf file and set the apache to listen to any ip on the internet( 0.0.0.0:80 ) and i set my no-ip account instead of localhost. I have disabled the windows firewall in vm-xp and i have port forwarded the HTTP port 80 to the vm-xp. The result is that i have access from my virtual LAN on the server, but the problem is that outside ( e.g: from a friend's pc ) can't reach the server. Any ideas/help/suggestion will appreciated.

You have to put a NAT rule in place from the real IP port 80 to the VM port 80 so that from outside the http will be accessed using the real IP.

Check your router config as it may have something like this.
