Newbe: Port Forwarding not Working on W2003... Am I missing something?

Hello guys.. have the following configuration:

* W2003 box, with 2 Lan cards:
Card 1: Connected to the Internet, with Public IP address -- configured
with NAT and basic Firewall options
Card 2: Connected to my private LAN, w/private IP address

* W2K box, 1 Lan card, Connected to my private LAN, w/private IP address

Need to access from the Internet a service that runs on the W2K (the one on
my LAN), port 8180, so I did the following:

1. Selected Routing and Remote Access -> IP Routing -> NAT/Firewall ->
Internet Connection (private interface) Properties

2. Under 'Services and Ports' created a new entry:

Protocol: TCP
Incoming Port: 8180
Private address: W2K private IP address
Outgoing Port: 8180

When trying to access http://public-ip:8080 the browser displays a "Cannot
find server" error.

When trying to access http://private-ip:8080 from within my LAN, works fine.

I'm NOT an experienced user... Am I missing something?

Thanks for any ideas.

Juan

Wrong port#. You set it to use 8180 but then are trying to access it on
8080. You are supposed to access it as http://public-ip:8180 ,...assuming
that is the right port. Otherwise make the NAT config 8080 like it should
be. Anyway,..whatever the port# really is,... just match it,... do it
properly.

BTW - This is *not* Port Forwarding, this is IP Forwarding. It is also
called "Static NAT" when ports are considered, and is called "One-toOne NAT"
when ports are not considered.

Port Forwarding is when the "forwarding" is done with matching IP# but with
port#s that don't match.

When both the IP#s and the Ports don't match, then you are combining IP
Forwarding and Port Forwarding together in combination.

IP Forwarding is the most common one used and is the most "excepted" among
various Devices. Not everything will allow Port Forwarding (miss-matched
port#s).
