Error 500 only when accessing externally

Hi all!

Just made an account because I'm having a problem with Calibre that I've never had before. I can access Calibre with the internal IP but not with my external IP. This has never been an issue.

I moved Calibre from my Vortexbox server to my Windows 7 machine. I changed my port forwarding entry to the IP of the Win 7 box. All other applications are available on their respective ports. I know it's hitting Calibre because I'm getting a 500 Internal server error. If I switch over to internal IP it shows up.

Anybody got an idea of what would cause this?

Extra info: I've turned off Windows Firewall for the moment, restarted the router and all switches in my house, restarted the computer and Calibre and the server function multiple times. I've tried it with another port as well. Ooh, when I put it on port 91 I got a google "Oops" error instead.

Pics of the screens I get:

Look in the server logs via Preferences->sharnig over the net for more info about the error.
