I must admit that I didn't understand everything you say. But it seems to be me that you need to port forwarding enabled. Most routers contain a firewall and without port forwarding all incoming ports are blocked. Just check your router configuration and forward port 80 to your local webserver. That should do the trick.

hi restless

Thanks for your reply can u tell me in what mode i should use a router whether in bridge mode or MER mode

hard to say, for me the mode isn't bridged but RFC 2364 PPPoA with LLC multiplexing
that's something you need to test to see which modes works out for you..
