Port forwarding not working

[theCheetah]

I have setup a server on my home network and running it on port 9095(just to be safe). Now I setup my router(netgear) as follows:

forward < connection type http> to <ipaddress 192.168.1.23> <port 9095>

Now from outside of my home when I enter the ipaddress of my home router(I have a static ip) it doesn't work(page not found).

But if I go back home and run the NSLU2 on port 80 and set the router to forward http connections to the server's port 80 it works fine.

Can you tell me where is the problem? Thanks!

I read through this a few times and from what it sounds like you want to run your web server on port 9095 rather than 80. You also have a NAT router that you want to forward the port through. I am not quite clear what you have going on here but here is how it makes the most sense to me for you to do it:
external port 9095 forwarded to internal port 80.

from that line, it looks like you have:
external port 80 forwarded to internal port 9095.

I believe that you will have to:

Forward port 9095 to your internal webserver's IP.
Configure that webserver to run on port 9095.

Test it inside via http://yourinternalip:9095 if successful, continue
Go outside, connect via http://yourexternalip:9095

If there are no security measures in place blocking the requests/responses then it should work out.

Good luck, terribly sorry if I'm wrong at any point.

Peace!
