This doesn't make sense. All IP communication has an address and a port number. Your NAT device takes the information coming into it on port 5800 and forwards it to the internal "server" address on the same port (5800). > I was thinking that since my > router had a remote management feature (where I can type in http://w.x.y.z > and I can log into my server settings from anywhere on the internet) that > this might be causing a problem?

You don't have to type a port because port 80 is the assigned port for HTTP.
