accessing Pixory from outside the firewall

I am still working to get to my Pixory server from behind my 
firewall. I can reach the Apache server on the Linux box with no 
problems using the IP address of the firewall/router. I have it 
configured to pass HTTP traffic to the NAT addressed PC on my 
network. I also opened 8081 to HTTP. At least I believe I did - it is 
pretty hard to tell what you are doing when you can not test via an 
outside connection. I have to drive to my studio to test the 
connectivity from another network link, and then of course I am not 
at the router.

I am not running Pixory in a directory under Apache. I am running it 
in 'headless' mode and again, from inside the network it works fine. 
All I get from outside is the darn IE "The page cannont be displayed' 
message. I have tried my IP address for the server (in the form 
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8081), and the longer form: 
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8081/pixory/pxapplication?
service=page&context=AlbumBrowser and neither works for me.

I am hoping this is just a firewall issue and I can resolve it. Is 
there any other config information I should know?

BTW - I suppose I have to open the FTP ports as well for downloads - 
though it is not mentioned in the config steps.

Thanks,

Cecil
