setting up Apache through port 8081 with Westell 327 router

I am currently running Apache2 on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. My ISP blocks port
80 and I believe my router uses port 8080 so I opened port 8081, which
I verified as visable through a web based port scanner. My Westell
router info is:

Model Number B90-327W15-06
Software Version VER:03.02.01
Software Model 4 Port Gateway
Description WireSpeed Data Gateway
Boot Loader VER:03.02.01
Configuration 096-900096-01A

Apache is working through localhost but I cannot seem to get Apache to
work with my IP. My intentions are to use dyn dns so the I can host a
small server with a domain name to play around with. I've tried
several configurations with the routers port forwarding. My options
are as follows:

Port Fowarding Ranges of Ports
Forward a range of WAN ports to
an IP address on the LAN

Trigger Ports
Forward a range of ports to an IP
address on the LAN only after
specific outbound traffic

I have selected the Port Fowarding Ranges of Ports option and
configured it as follows:

Global Port Range: 8081 -8081
Base Host Port: 8081
Protocol: TCP

The config then prompts for these options:

Host Device 192.168.1.47

or specify

IP Address

When I enter my ISP IP address the I get the msg -Address in not part
of the Private area subnet. Thus I leave the IP Address empty.

My DNS Configuration has these options:

User Assigned DNS

Domain Name < I entered my ISP IP address>

Static Host Assignment

Host Name IP Address
dsl router 192.168.1.1 Set
deviceweb 192.168.1.1 Delete
smartdevice 192.168.1.1 Delete
< > < > Add

I am not sure how the router should be set up to allow incoming traffic
to my IP address port 8081 so that apache can do its thing. Any help
pointing me in the right direction will be much appeciated. Let me
know if more information is needed.

Regards

Dan

You need to put the ip address of the computer running apache here. So if
192.168.1.10 is running apache you would enter 192.168.1.10, not the public
ip address assigned by your ISP.
