Try another port such as 8080 or 9000. You can also add me to your MSN
Messenger and I can help you solve the problem by live tech support.

sounds to me like you didn't route the ports properly....A good way to check this is to try accessing your page from another machine on your network. If it comes up, and still doesn't allow access from remote systems, then you know that's your problem.

also, as a side-note, most routers have internal firewalls. Check to make sure that this isn't the case with you in the router's settings, if it is just disable it. Setting up a DMZ would also help if your router supports it.
