PHPBB forum going to wrong server name

Hello, I got my server working (aside from "Icon_" files) but all of a suddon I found a new problem. Inside my network this doesnt happen, but outside it does.

if I go to my forums http://wacomalt.no-ip.org/ or http://71.67.137.222:80 (click to enter)

try to login. you'll see its pointing the server to wacomalt01, which is my servers name, and what I typed in when I set up the forum. On my home network the forums work fine, because they see wacomalt01 as my server. but outside that will not work.

is there any way to change that server setting so it points to the same server its on when you first visit? if I set it to ony work for wacomalt.no-ip.org, or the IP then I wont be able to get to it on my network.

so I need to know where I can change that setting, and what I should change it to. (would localhost work?)[/list]

Seems to work fine from here except you have your board disabled in the admin panel.

It does not point to wacomalt01, it points to http://wacomalt.no-ip.org/phpBB2 and apears to work correctly, just enable the board.
