If your gateway/router doesn't support hair-pinning, you might need to use your *internal* IP address to access it.

This would be true for the other servers (e.g. terminal server accessed via telnet, ssh, rlogin, and the FTP server) too. Are you able to login to the *other* servers using your *external* IP address?
