Sorry for the beginner questions, but how did the remote port change from 80 to 4007? Are you NATed on both ends? And, how did you go about getting the IP:port of your local router? Are you using some tool, or do you have root on your office router?

Nah not silly questions at all.

I changed the remote port from 80 to 4007 because I figured my web server might get DoS'd :)

I have a crappy cable modem which is kind of a "research problem" to root, so I did the netstat on the web server end to get the local port.
