Hello everyone. Quick and short:
I'm using netgear WGT624v3.

Established an http server on 192.168.1.2, PORT 30903. In the router, forwarded the port to the proper ip(192.168.1.2).
I can access the server from my LAN but not from outside my lan (neither when i type my WAN ip address in my LAN - http://IP:PORT)

Following this, I disabled ALL local firewalls (ZA & Windows) and enabled DMZ in the router (just in case) and still no luck.

Does anyone have something to suggest???

If you did everything correctly then I'd guess your ISP is blocking that port number. Why not use a more common port. Try 81 or 88.

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.

"when i type my WAN ip address in my LAN - http://IP:PORT)"

That is an INVALID test. That would be like asking your router to send the request out the wan port and back in again. Or that you expect your router to route on the lan only. No router works like that.

You need to conduct that test from outside of your system not from within it.

I think you are confusing port forwarding with port redirection. You are trying to do port redirection. Might want to check to see if your soho router has that feature.

Imagine the power if you knew how to internet search

Somehow, this thing started working on its own. Even with the firewalls on, there must be something i was missing. Probably a fresh restart did the he trick, i don't know...
Thaks for your help though!
By the way, what is the difference between port redirection and port forwarding?

redirection is using an incomming port of say 100 and translating it to say 50.

To forward there is no translation. In 100 out 100.

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.
