I have a static IP and I've made a webserver that is running fine from WAN (domain points to my IP).

However, when I access my external IP/Domain from my LAN, it redirects me to my router login page.

What can I do to fix this?

I've read something about editing the Windows hosts file, but what should I put in there?

xx.xx.xx.xx   mydomain.com (Should this do the job?)

Thanks!

Don't use external IP to access to your server inside local network. Use server's local IP address. Many operating systems (include Microsoft Windows) read hosts file before send DNS query to resolve domain name to IP address. That's why x.x.x.x must be server's IP address in your local network and mydomain.com must be full real domain name of your server (not local).
