external access problems

[Amleto]

situation:
torrent/newsgroup/nas: web guis can be accessed fine from local network.
torrent/newsgroups download fine
all web gui ports are open according to portchecker

I can get access to guis when going through web services that track ips: my nas uses buffalonas.com, torrent can go through https://web.utorrent.com/

However, when I try to directly use my external ip or the domain I have from no-ip.com, I cant get through - browser says "Could not connect to remote server."

Why can't I get through for myself when ip-tracking services can?

firewall is on, incoming rules have been setup for web interfaces that run from my machine. However, I have the same problem getting to my NAS, that obv doesnt go through the win firewall.

firewall on or off through control panel makes no difference.

ah, I'm trying from inside. will get someone to check from outside.

just tried from phone - works ok apart from crappy data connection I think. Well, direct IP didnt work, but using no-ip domain went ok.
