I found out the problem. The Netgear RT314 does not allow modification
of firewall rulesets from the web administration screen. I needed to
access the Internal menu via a serial comm cable then allow forwarding
on Port80.
This works pretty well since HTTP and SMTP servers can reside on
different boxes but share the same public IP address. I'm configuring
DNS now. Wish me luck...
