Tim responds:
Your DNS is either not setup correctly, or the domain name that you have is not forwarding to the correct IP address, or not at all. Check with your domain hosting service, then check your network settings to ensure that you have a primary and secondary DNS server, and that they are correct.
If you can access other sites by name, then it is most likely due to your domain hosting not routing to your IP.
Also, if you're on the LAN side of the router and trying to access your own server on your own side of the LAN, it won't work because your IP is localized. You'll just have to use your local IP when testing it.
