Accessing a local DSL machine by its external IP
Authored by: JoeGrind on Apr 09, '03 11:11:48AM
Is the objective to use your external IP or is it simply to access your site on the local machine? If it's the latter and not the former, then http://localhost should suffice, no? Or even using http://127.0.0.1, the same IP you put in for your gateway.

Sounds like you went to a little trouble to work this out so I presume the localhost option isn't a solution for you but maybe it will help someone else.
