I followed yours and Andrei's suggestion and it worked like a charm. I chose "Port Forwarding", Protocol=both, Global PortStart=8088, Global PortEnd=8088, BaseHostPort=8088, Direction=In. Then assigned this service to my laptop. >> What about Direction?

It does not work internally but if I go to an external machine and view the website it works. I've previously tried the same configuration but I was always testing it internally. So, it looked as if it did not work.
