Mine is a simple setup where I am using DIR 615 with DDWRT to access Internet and other devices. I have goflex net running which is connected with the router through LAN.
I have also noip host which is updating the dynamic IP to the address normally.
I have setup 1265 port for accessing the router admin page.
The problem is that I am unable to access router admin page from external IP.
I am attaching the screenshots for easy reference. Please help in accessing my home network from external IP.
Yes, I know my public IP which is different from WAN IP. I have tried to access it directly. Strangely I am able to ping it but when I ping it with the ports, I am unable to do so.

it would help if you werent so picky on blanking out your ip address and even your GATEWAY..an ip is nothing, a isp gateway is even more nothing, a user cant steal your life by knowing your ip. you also blanked your port, yet you still mention what the port is? 1265..use a good username/password an youre fine. also update to modern build, are you trying to access it by x.x.x.x:port or dnsname:port or both? _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)

I had blacked out the screengrabs for safety, if I have mistakenly blacked out important information, I will provide here.
I am able to ping from external IP using both DDNS and direct IP.
Second, I am unable to access the router with both DDNS and direct IP using the port. (x.x.x.x:router port)
