    Is this your router, as it sounds like there maybe some security getting in your way.

    Make sure you have set the "gateway" to be your internal ip address of your router. Also test to see if your security is getting in the way by switching off your firewalling on the router completely and testing. Should yield some results that you can remedy quickly.

    Check your public IP address assigned to you by ISP, if using DNS check whether the DNS IP address is correct and also your gateway.

    This can also be a WLAN without internet connection but only to connect people to a server of some kind.
