With my Alcatel Speed Touch Pro, I'm trying to map port 80 on my router
to another machine on my network with a webserver listening on port 80.
So I telnet in to my router and try to map it but get the following
response:

=>nat
[nat]=>create
protocol = tcp
inside_addr = 10.0.0.5
[inside_port] = 80
outside_addr = 0
[outside_port] = 80
Failed to create static NAT entry.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? There has to be at least one
other person here who has successfully mapped port 80 on their speed
touch pro, right?

Thanks.

Yep, it is.

Is there anyway to get around that, seeing that the IP address will
change every time the router re-connects? Thanks for your help.

Sorry I was wrong - with static ip you can leave the external ip as 0

There's some info on this here

Thanks for that, its working now. I used the 'list' command and it
appears that port 80 was already mapped, only to a different IP address
than the one I wanted. So long story cut short, delete old map, create
new one. Seems to be working fine.

As a side issue, I installed one of the DynDNS clients and it works ok,
only it updates DynDNS with my local IP address instead of the router's
IP addy. Is there any easy way to deal with that? Is this a common
problem?
