So it turned out that my server didn't support loopback and that once I worked out port forwarding I was on the web but that I couldn't see myself from inside the network.
I verified this by using a proxy server:
http://anonymouse.org/anonwww.html
which was sent to the external address given by Google to the query "what is my IP address".
I tried again with the web address that I had forwarded to the computer using an A record and it worked again where it hadn't worked before. I'm live!
