Ah sorry, will teach me for skipping in not reading all, I'm guessing that IP isn't configured on your actual machine and just on the router? In which case possibly ignore what I suggested (you can still try it (wan ip then hostname in hosts file before the other, nothing lost, just I'm possibly barking up the wrong tree as I've never set up a server with separate forwarding, and others can advise better). Basically don't want to throw a red herring out from my lack of reading, but try all :0.

<div>May well be off the beaten track with this, just something I've seen before on the Q3 engine which is similar. What do you have in /etc/hosts. Just I've seen it before where you specify the IP, but it sends what it finds as the domain name in /etc/hosts. As I said, probably wrong, but might be worth a quick shot. Just wondering if the localhost bit is still throwing it off, is the other IP "available" propely locally to that machine?
