web server behind router

Comment:
Im running a web server from behind a router, and i can access it from any computer on the LAN, but not on a computer on the other side of the router (the WAN). I have configured the router to redirect WAN http requests on port 1544 to port 80 on the web server computer (in case my ISP blocks port 80). So if i type in xx.xx.xx.xx:1544 on a WAN computer web browser (where xx.xx.xx.xx is the WAN IP address of my router), my website should pop up... but it doesnt. What is goin wrong???

What router are you using to accomplish this port transfer? Most routers use port forwarding to forward a specific port to a specific machine. I realize some routers will do this translation but it is probably easier to redirect port 1544 requests straight to the web server IP address and simply configure the web server to use port 1544 instead of port 80. -DF
Summary: First thanks for the reply.So i cant use public ip adresses on a lan port.is it posiible to have a public ip adress in the same range as the wan port but behind a firewall and still have a lan adress ...
