R6700v3 Port forward

I have recently install a server inside my home network.  I am able to connect to the server from any machine,(PC ..Smart phone) as long as they are inside the home network.   I have also tried to access the server by using the DDNS address , again as long as inside the home network i can reach the server.   I have turned on port fowarding for HTTP :80 ,  I have factory reset the R6700 and started all over.  all to no sucess.

 

I can Ping my router from out side by using the ISP assigned address, and get the correct responce.  any suggestions.

    Difficult to tell for sure what you are trying to do.

     

    A server for what?

     

    No success at what?
