Actually, I think several routers use the port 8080 as default for remote management. Either way, I think it would be a good idea to *both* disable remote management on the router and move the Calibre server to a less commonly used port.

As itimpi mentioned, the external port does not need to be the same as the internal one, but that kinda depends on the router's firmware. Iirc, the default firmware on my Linksys WRT54G v2 didn't allow forwarding to a different port.

As with pilotbob, getting an account with dyndns is a good idea. Unless you've got a business account with static IP addresses, your public IP address will eventually change. Besides, it's much easier to remember boazi.kicks-ass.org than 63.258.159.753.
