You can try running tcpdump on the desktop and listen for connections on port
504:
[root@feynman] tcpdump port 504
Then try to hit the website on that port from both internal and external
machines. If you don't see anything then it's probably some routing issue.
Keep in mind that most Linksys routers handle internal requests to external IP
addresses in bizarre and creative ways. E.g., if you have an external IP of
11.12.13.14 and a 192.168.0. internal network (NAT), then accessing
11.12.13.14 from the LAN may not work as expected. This is doubly true for
multiple external IPs, depending on which Linksys router you're using.
As a workaround (and general security practice) you may want to setup
different DNS zones for the internal and external accesses. I.e., internal
requests to the DNS server will get served 192.168.0.x addresses; external
requests get the external IPs.
Though I'm not sure from your post, also keep in mind that any secured channel
may have problems if the internal address does not match the external. I.e.,
if your desktop is on the private network it will very likely fail
verifications since many use hostname/ip combos as part of the validation.
If the tcpdump doesn't return anything, make sure you're using the correct
ports. HTTPS is usually on 443, IIRC.
