What is going on here??

I am using a Linksys BEFSR41 router on my DSL line. I set up port forwarding on the router for HTTP, FTP, and SMTP.

I can connect to the FTP and SMTP servers from the internet; however, I can't connect to the web server. I can access the web server fine from inside my network--even when I point to the IP address of the router. I've moved the website to an entirely different box and I still can't access it from the internet. This would lead me to believe it is the router's fault. I *think* it has worked in the past... I did upgrade the router's firmware recently. Does anyone have any ideas?

Move it to another port and try it.

It works fine when I move it to another port.

Any idea why port 80 is giving me grief?

MAKE sure your routers remote admin page is either turned off or changed from port 80.

Remote everything is disabled. I can't figure this out! Could it be a problem with the firmware? I even reset the router to factory defaults and started from scratch.

You weren't forwarding to different ports were you? ie. port 80 external to port 8080 on your actual server? I've had problems with my linksys always passing requests through on the port they came in on instead of translating.
