access outside lan test

Hi

I have a socket client server program in C
I have tested this program on LAN between 2 Pcs and it was working fine.

Now I am trying to test the program from out side "server on my LAN and client from internet"
I am using port 5000 so I set port forwarding on my ADSL router to forward requestes on port 5000 to the PC running the socket server application.

always I fail to connect to server from outside.

on the other hand I can't ping the network WAN address from out side
If ping from inside the LAN I get response and If I ping from out side the lan I get time out.

Finally If I run Appachi server , I can access the test website from outside!!!

So what should be the problem?

1st of all some router need reboot after configing port fwd

3rd there is many online port scanner , run ur server software , then try any of them so be sure that the port is opened

well try that and then tell me the result

how to check website from outside lan

Thanks Ahmed for your support
I was a strange behaviour of the ADSL router.
I configure the port forwarding but when I restart the router it forgot about its configuration.
I discovered that using port scan.
Now it's working fine.
