    When you are browsing a website you are connecting to the port 80 of the remote server (web server) it has nothing to do with your local port 80. When you open a HTTP connection to a server you are using some random port at your end.

    To open your port 80 to the outside world, first make sure you have correctly forwarded TCP traffic on port 80 in your router and correctly mapped it to your local IP and port 80. Then make sure you have allowed access to your web server (or what ever program listening on port 80) through the firewall.

    what should i give for internal server IP?
    i have given 192.168.1.2 (my machine, its the only one in router's network)

    TCP/UDP means both TCP and UDP right?
