Access router admin from external IP

Hi,

I've got a 7700n and would like to access the admin web page from outside my LAN (i.e. when away from home.)

I also have a machine in the DMZ which I use as a web server.

I almost have it working, I set-up a virtual server for port 8081 which goes to port 80 at the routers LAN address.

This initially appears to work - as the authentication dialog comes up - but strangely always fails to authenticate. After three attempts it gives me the 401 unauthorised page.

The username (admin) and password that I use work when I access the page from within the LAN.

Has anyone got this working? Any clues?

Thanks.

Password - support

I hope this helps :D
