IIS Web Server and Port Forwarding

I'm relatively new at this, so I'm sorry if I'm asking dumb questions...

So, I'm trying to set up an IIS web server behind my LinkSys router. I set the IP address of the server to a static number (192.168.1.10) so it doesn't get messed up by the DHCP I've got running from the router to the other 5 computers on the router.

I've set up port range forwarding to forward all requests at port 81-85 to the internal IP of the server.

In the IIS controls on the server I've set the website's TCP port to 82. It works, because typing http://localhost/ on the server doesn't get anything but http://localhost:82/ works perfectly.

BUT I can't access that website from outside the network. As far as I understand, I should, with these setting, be able to access my website by typing my router's external IP address:82. But it doesn't work. What am I missing?

The thing is that I can access my router itself by typing in ipaddress:8080, so it's not like the IP is wrong. The settings on the port forwarding are pretty clear as well, so I assume my problem lies in my lack of understanding how exactly to set up my IIS web server...

Any help would be graciously appreciated...
