Cannot access web server from internet

I'm trying to open my web server to the internet and I cant seem to
get it to work. I've opened port 8080 on my router and in Windows XP
firewall and I've set the TCP port in IIS also to 8080. I can access
the website ok from within the network but outside it just seems to
timeout.

According to my ISP's help they do not block port 8080 so I just don't
understand why I cant see the website using my IP.

The address is http://80.229.15.67:8080/

Thanks.

So it just seems to be from inside my network that I cant access it.
Handy.

Presumably you have NAT between the Internet and your internal network, so
it's because your router isn't sending it back into your network. Just use
the IP address of the computer you see from using "ipconfig" at a command
prompt.
