Router blocking web requests

    I have a Linksys WRT55AG Wireless A&G router and have it hooked up to my NTL cable modem. I am currently only using Windows Firewall cos Core Force just became a pain in the ass cos it locks everything down way too much and even asks every time an app accesses a file even though I've given the app permission.

    I have setup WebGuide3 which is a Windows Media Center plugin to let you schedule recordings remotely. I have it setup and running in IIS v5.1 and it works fine when I access it locally using http://computername:81/WebGuide3
    but not when I try to access it remotely using http://frankgrimes.bounceme.net:81/WebGuide3 which is using no-ip.com to handle my dynamic IP address by assigning it to a static name. I've tried turning off the firewall and using the actual literal IP address aswell, but no joy.

    I disconnected the router and hooked my cable modem directly to the PC and it worked fine then when using http://frankgrimes.bounceme.net:81/WebGuide3, but not when using the IP address. Still didn't work when I reconnected the router.

    I have port 81 forwarded to IP address 192.168.1.100 (i.e the PC's address) in the Port Forwarding settings of my router, but it still doesn't work.

    Am at my wits end :mad: with this one so any help would be much appreciated.
