By which I mean it is a good test, until it fails (which is why I
suggested it originally, but I should have given you a contingency
too).

You've said that you've enabled 1-1 NAT, and opened up port 80.  Do
you only have 1 external IP?  In this case, 1-1 NAT won't really work
for what you're trying to do...  If you've mapped an external IP that
isn't shared with some other device to an internal IP, then it should
work fine.  You still need to make sure that outgoing connections are not
blocked...
