wireless router port forwarding

Hi all,

I am new to wireless routers, and would appreciate any help you can give.

I have just bought a WR214E 11mb Wireless router for my home network.
I have 3 PC's and a Laptop which all connect using this router.
Everything works ok, but I have a problem trying to access my webserver from the internet.

My router is set to assign static IP's i.e. 192.168.0.55 etc.to all PC's.

My web server is set to port 80088 ( I can change this ) but I dont know how to set up port forwarding on my router.
I dont know the make, I think its a generic one - but I found it here http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?Inv...214E&cpc=RECOM

I tried using DYNDNS to assign a domain name to the webserver, but that just confused things even more !

Whenever I type the IP address assigned by my telewest provider, I get the router admin page.

What I want to know, is how do i access my webserver from the internet ?
Do I put the ISP IP address followed by the port number the webserver sits on, and set up port forwarding ( which i dont know how to do ) or am i doing it totally wrong ?

Cheers,

Karl
