True....  but I assumed from the earlier discussion that he was going to use 
another port and have the router forward it as port 80....    

I'm not sure that would work since his server would send back on port 80 and 
it should go back on the off-port....

Not talking about the webserver on the router.... just the server he is using 
on his LAN.
