PINK and Internet Access

I have my PINK all set up and ready to go. I understand that the default port is 80 on the PINK web server. However, when I use port forwarding on my Router to forward port 95 to the PINK's IP address it is not working. Do I maybe need to add the PINK in IIS on my default Server?

    Port forwarding is all router configuration and has nothing to do with IIS. First, verify your port setting, make sure all incoming traffic on port 95 is forwarded to the PINK's IP address on port 80. I'd use a port number 5000 or above, though.

    When trying to access the PINK from the internet, you must use the IP assigned by your ISP with the port forward configured in the router. The IP assigned by your ISP can be found in your router or by going to the following page, http://www.whatsmyip.org/. Type the IP and port in your browser address bar and press enter.

    @Mike G, I understand all of this which is why I was asking. I currently have a static IP address and I can access my video server and my SBS 2003 server with no problems. I used the internal address of 192.168.1.25 on the PINK and have set the router to forward port 95 to that address. It all works internally but when I use 209.xxx.xxx.xxx:95 it does not come up. I do have Looping set up and am able to connect using my outside address internally so I know that is not the issue. I am thinking my SBS server may need to open Port 95 also even though it gets bypassed using the address I used for the PINK.
