"nospam", It sounds like your wireless router doesn't allow connections from within the LAN to it's own external IP address. Your port forwarding setup is clearly working correctly, since the test page can see your server. You'll find that you can connect to your server from outside your LAN using the external IP address, but you'll need to use the internal IP address to connect to it from within your LAN.
You probably want to contact your router vendor for updated firmware to address this (extremely common) bug in their kit.
