Connecting to my own network via external IP
If I can access my router home page (or ssh etc.) through LAN machines via 0.0.0.1 and from anywhere on the internet via 0.0.0.2, and I type each of these into a browser on a machine within the LAN, will the router treat these requests differently?
For example, will the router realise that the external IP maps to the router itself and therefore treat it as if I had just typed in the internal IP instead?
Or will it depend on the router?
This question is not the same as the one it is marked a duplicate of - this question asks about accessing the router itself, while the duplicate asks about accessing a machine behind the router, which from the outside will involve DNAT, while from the inside for it to work would have to involve DNAT and SNAT. NAT likely has little to do with the scenario here. – Phil – 2016-08-14T00:06:41.320
What?! That makes no sense. The lowest private ip range is 10.0.0.x. Have you managed to set machines to 0.0.0.x? See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1918 to see private ip ranges

You should indicate what router hardware/software you're using. – James T Snell – 2011-08-11T15:39:23.583
1I think those were supposed to be sample IP Addresses where 0.0.0.1 is the internal ip address and 0.0.0.2 is the external ip address. At least I hope that is what was meant. – Col – 2011-08-11T15:42:12.597
1Sorry yes those are sample IP addresses, not real ones. Didn't want to publicise my actual setup. – Rupert Madden-Abbott – 2011-08-11T16:07:30.303
