I'm having trouble with my router. Most of my computers are laptops and use DHCP so that they can travel between wireless networks, and visitors can connect to my network without too much configuration.
But I have one desktop that's also used as a local HTTP server for web development, and has a static IP (192.168.1.101) assigned so that I can use HOSTS file entries to reach it using multiple hostnames for different projects.
I haven't needed to reach that desktop from another computer in a few weeks, and today it's not working.
I tried to do a bit of troubleshooting and came up with the following. When I tracert to the IP directly, I get a single hop:
tracert 192.168.1.101
Tracing route to example.com [192.168.1.101]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 18 ms 15 ms 15 ms example.com [192.168.1.101]
Trace complete.
But when I do the same with a port specified, it tries to route it through the WAN and isn't able to connect:
tracert 192.168.1.101:80
Tracing route to example:80 [207.69.131.9]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

...etc
How can I fix this?
My router is a Trendnet TEW-452BRP -- basic wireless home router with a half-baked control panel. The client computer is on WinXP, and the server runs OS X.
