HFS and Asus RT-n56u router

[howi42]

I still have problems to understand what is going on :

Everything works fine locally, but not through that router.

1. I checked other webservers with that router - ok
2. Use port 80 for the webserver, access the webserver from the internet, see that HFS is responding to that request, but the IP address in the log is different from the IP address of the requesting system.
3. Use port 8080 ( or any other port ) , access the webserver from the internet, see that the request reaches HFS,
the IP address of the requesting system is correct, but then it hangs.
It looks like that HFS is trying to use other ports and that might cause the problems, as I do not know if these ports are open on  the requesting system.

Anyone seen something similar ?

To make it more interesting :

If I use the dyndns way and access the HFS from the internet, it hangs.
If I use the direct WAN address of my router and access HFS from the internet, everything is fine.

And, the dyndns translation is correct !

Still no idea what is happening ...

what you mean by "hangs" ? window frozen? CPU 100% ?

'hangs' means just nothing happens  until something times out, but the system itself is still fine.
But behavior is not consistent :

Using port 80 does not work at all; the request comes in, the  IP-adress in the log is incorrect and the request times out later.
Port 80 does work if I use another webserver; so this could be a combination of hfs/router behavior which causes the problem.

Port 8080  ( or any other port ) seems to work now.
