I have a static ip address granted by my ISP. I have a small home server (Ubuntu server+ Apache) and I maintain a website which used to be reachable by domain name and by ip address. Suddenly I realized I can't reach my website- instead of a page there is a pop up window asking for my DSL router username and password. What could be the possible reason?

Are you attempting to access it from inside or outside your own LAN? (It does not matter if you're using a public address. What matters is where you are connecting from.)– grawity_u1686Commented Apr 7, 2011 at 14:39

If you haven't fixed this yet, I'd fix immediately. I'd turn off WAN configuration in your router, this is a major security hole.– Rich HomolkaCommented Jun 13, 2011 at 22:51

You need to forward the port(s) to your webserver (80) to the correct IP within your LAN.

The ports are forwarded (actually the whole system worked for many months, I did not change anything, it just stopped working).– MichaelCommented Apr 7, 2011 at 10:19

1You need to make sure that management of your router from outside is turned off. A recent firmware update may have changed the setting?– MajenkoCommented Apr 7, 2011 at 10:49
