Hi all, my first post, and I would probably class myself as a relatively experienced network installation user but think that I am going about the port forwarding the wrong way!! (blush)

I have a software product that I make available to users via a port redirection. I embed the http port, for example http://www.myserver.com:1234 into the software and send this out to the customers. When they fire off the software this comes in from external addresses and the port redirection on the router it is passed to my webserver on the default port 80 which works for my customer base fine.

I want to be able to run the same software as I sent to each customer on my own PC in house. Each customer has their own port that redirects to another individual web server.

When I run the software on my PC it looks like, from what I have read on the forum, that when it hits the Vigor it knows that this port should be external and redirects to my internal port which is 80. Problem is that the software just hangs internally and appears unable to resolve this?

I have software configured to run on port 80 81 etc for each client for some time now on my internal PC which again works fine if I specify the local IP, but it's been niggling away at me, I can't help thinking that I need to add some sort of routing or differing type of redirection so when I try to access port 1234 internally, even though I have told the router that this port should be incoming from an external address I'd love to have this working internally if possible.

Any thoughts, or is there something really simple I am missing here!

Cheers
