trouble accessing from outside local network

I have port forwarded port 80 on my router to the IP address on computer where Subsonic is running and have no problem accessing site from local network but others cannot do it (either from work or home). Just get a server time out error.

http://76.14.64.242:80

suggestions?

Many ISPs block servers on port 80. Verizon and Comcast do, for instance. Try running Subsonic on a different port.
