For my Netopia dsl router I had to open port 80 for web traffic and forward it to the iSeries address.
Your router is defaulting some firewall block for what originates from the outside. It may even block all that originates from outside.
There are security concerns if you open this up.
My i5 is running a simple site, and takes a few hundred script kiddie type hacks a day - never causes a problem.
If you open ftp and they guess/hack your pwd and your not running exit pgms then they will have cmd auth to your system.
I do run my own exit pgms plus turn ftp off when not needed.
I don't open the port for http admin from outside. Maintain from inside.

FTP, telnet and web browser cgidev http

I am trying to setup my own web instance now but I am missing a PTF
group so the admin screen won't come up. I'm pulling the ptf group
from IBM now and hope to have it installed later tonight.
