Well, my Myth box is 192.168.1.200 and my laptop is 192.168.1.102.  From 
the laptop I can connect without a prompt going to 
http://hjdmyth/mythweb.  From the same laptop, if I go to 
<blah,blah,blah>.dyndns.org/mythweb (I masked out the first part; not 
really important or relevant), I get prompted, then once the MythWeb 
page shows up, I see the address bar change to hjdmyth/mythweb.  I get 
the same thing when I try from my office PC, except the page doesn't 
show up.  I get "page cannot be displayed".

Does that make sense?
