I have a little question: I have a D-Link DLS-624T router with routertech firmware 2.5, and I installed apache web server on my pc... now, when I activate it on port 25466 (the same I use for emule, which is correctly forwarded to my pc), and I try to connect via browser to http://my_ip_address:25466, I get an error message, while if I connect to http://localhost:25466 all goes fine...
is this normal? shouldn't it work both ways?

well, I tried with the IP address given by my ISP so... THIS is why it didn't work... in fact if I use the local IP address given by the router, it goes fine...
Is there a way to enable local loopback on the router, or it is just not implemented? how can I test if the server is visible from the "outside" of my network?

There is a script command in RT2.5 to enable "WAN IP local NAT loopback", see the readme with the firmware
"localnat.sh init"
to enable, if it works for you this can be added to an RT_cmd_x nvram variable to always run. There's only one known restriction, changes you make in the web screen port forwards are not activated until the next time the WAN reconnects, or you can force an update with
"localnat.sh UP"
