A couple of things -
1)for now, forget about DYNDNS and use only IP.
2)Make sure you are using the WAN IP address of your router. Log into the router and find this address.
3)Attach a PC to the Router and go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ Is the IP address you got from the router the same as you see at that web site? If not use the IP address of what you see at what’sMyIp.COM
4)Get on the internet from outside your LAN and ping the address you got from what’sMyIP. Does it respond?
If not then it sounds as if your ISP is blocking inbound connections to Ping, WWW and more than likely Telnet services.
If this is the case then attempts to connect to these services from the internet is blocked before it even hits your cable modem. They will tell you they do this to prevent DOS attacks or whatnot.
As I said in the above post you need to configure these things:
In summary, setup 4 things:
1)IP reservation for the Stoker (on the router)
2)Port Mapping (on router)
3)IP forwarding (on router)
4)DHCP on the Stoker
Sounds like you only did IP forwarding. When you say,
"I forwarded port 80 in the router to the stoker ip address"
I think you actually mean IP forwarding. Port mapping and IP forwarding are 2 different things.
1 other thing to try - Get an XP Pro machine and setup IIS to run on port 80. Attach that machine directly to the cable/DSL modem. That is, unplug it from the router and plug it into the PC. Next, do Start->Run and type cmd then enter. Type IPCONFIG to find your IP address.
Using another device connected to the internet try to open http://address_of_pc/ and see what you get. If it times out then configure IIS to run on port 8080 and goto http://address_of_pc:8080.
If this works then your ISP is blocking port 80 and not port 8080 so you'll need to configure port mapping.
