Opening Ports on TP-Link router

[NMCK]

Hello,

I have set up a windows server with a web server role.

The server has a LAN static IP address (192.168.1.2)

I have set up my TP-Link router to forward port 81 to my server (192.168.1.2) on port 81.

I have added firewall rules on my server to allow incoming and outgoing traffic through port 81.

But when I check to see if port 81 is open, it says its closed.

Using this website http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

I can get access to the web server internally by typing in 192.168.1.2:81, but not through the routers wan IP address

Has anyone got any ideas? it would be much appreciated.

Did you set the rules for source port 81 or destination port 81 on the incoming connections?

TPLink is way below my usual router budget so a screenshot of the port forwarding and firewall rules would be helpful.
