Set up Port forwarding (Port 80 - Webserver) Thomson Speedtouch Router

I have a static IP adress at home, and have set up a domainname (www.domainname.com) pointing to it. I need the router to forward all requests on port 80 to my local webserver.

I have trouble making port forwarding to work correct on my Thomson Speedtouch 5461i Router. When I access my Router interface I click "Toolbox" and choose "Game & Application Sharing". Here I choose "Assign a game or application to a local network device", and set "Web Server (HTTP)" to point to my webserver (Device). All seems well so far.

When I try to access the webpage at my local network (www.domainname.com) I just get the SpeedTouch Administration Page. Dont understand why the router dont forward this request to my webserver as  assigned in the router. If I try to access the webpage outside my local network, I dont get anything at all... Timeout.

When clicking my webserver in the SpeedTouch Administration Page I get this information:

Information
Status: Active
Type: Desktop Computer
Connected To: ethport2 (Ethernet)

Addressing
Physical Address: 00:1c:09:0b:51:31

Why does not the router send all request on port 80 to my webserver?

Just ignore what it says about bit torrent and when asked to fill in the values,

protocol tcp
inside IP: your webserver's lan ip
outside ip: your router's WAN ip
inside port: 80
outside port: 80
