OK, now I can access it. Use firebug in firefox to see what happens. If 
you do that you will realize that the error is that 
cgi-bin/qgis_mapsserv.fcgi is not accessible.
http://landconsult.no-ip.com/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?map=../projects/helloworld.qgs&&_dc=1394795203156&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3&REQUEST=GetProjectSettings

so first thing to do is to get your QGIS server running. 
GetProjectSettings or GetCapabilities must return something sensible. 
You can check this in your browser (or QGIS desktop). As soon as a 
GetMap request is successful (check this e.g. in QGIS desktop) you can 
start configuring QWC.

You should duplicate the file, rename it to EPSG31467.js and change 
whatever is necessary inside.

never realised this but it is obviously not for Windows

You are using the same because QWC runs on top of a qgsi_mapserv.fcgi
