I have a NT Doman server running Xitami. I have a Linksys BEFSX41 router/firewall. Port 80 and 8080 are forwarded to the NT server IP(has single NIC with fixed IP). Disabled ignore ping from outside on router. DHCP is running on router. Range of handed addressed is outside fixed IP of server. Verizon claims they do not block ports. No one can see the damn internal server. They can use the external IP or NO-IP's DNS redirect. Still no luck. Even with port assignment on URL it still won't route internally. This is my second router, the other was a very expensive Netgear. Same problem. It has to be internal? I can type the IP of the web server on my client machines behind the firewall and I get the home page of the webserver no problem!!!

Help!!!
 
As a guess:

Verizon blocks port 80 on all of its former Bell Atlantic service areas.

You can use an alternative port if the Web Server is set to listen on that alterntive port.

Just a port forward is not sufficient.
