Slightly OT: Connecting to my static IP

I have a static IP with my ADSL ISP (Force 9 / Plusnet) and I want to
make use of it by using it to allow me to connect to a server at my
house. This all works fine for normal http (on port 80) but I have a
music server running on port 9000 and no matter how hard I try I
cannot connect to this port. I've setup my router to forward requests
on port 9000 to the machine (this works ok for http on port 80) but I
still can't get to it. Internally, it works fine. Force 9 say nothing
it blocked at their end.

Anyone and ideas?

TIA.

There's always something I forget to mention. It's a D-link DI-624+
(http://www.dlink.co.uk/pages/products/129.htm) with a DSL-300G modem
(http://www.dlink.co.uk/pages/products/136.htm).

Cheers,
