Not necessarily. I think the new Windows firewall has different rules for
local and remote access. Others probably have this too.

I have seen advertised a feature where the router with IP a.b.c.d will
mirror packets sent to its own IP from the local network back to that
network, as if they were from a true remote host. I don't know how this
works, or if it works, or if it bypasses the port forwarding of the router.

I'm running Apche 2 on a Win Server 2003.
Works fine from the my local network, works fine from any computer outside,
but doesn't work when i call from my local network the outside address.
Maybe the router/NAT gets confused, or the DNS-server (I would when someone
asked me from 1.2.3.4 "what's the address from 1.2.3.4?). ;-)
