WEB Hosting through an Airport Extreme

Hi All,
  We just got DSL service in our area, and we now have a reasonably fast Ethernet connection with a static IP address.  I'm trying to set up my cube to host a web site.  So...  I set the cube to a static local IP address of 10.0.1.201, enabled web sharing, and installed the web site.  I checked it out by browsing 10.0.1.201, and the page displays just fine.  I set up the airport extreme for port mapping sending port 80 to local IP 10.0.1.201 port 80.  I also set the advanced settings to make 201 the default host.  I got nothing.  When I browse my static Ip address (207.213.217.244), it just times out.
  So, I hooked up the network directly to my Ibook, and browsed my static IP address, and it works just fine.  So now I'm out of ideas.  I checked the httpd logs and I noticed that I get traffic from all of the usual data miners (looking for robots.txt), and some I think trying to plant worms, but I can't seem to get through.
  I set the airport to send it's syslog to the cube, but it doesn't seem to make it.  Do I have to change some settings on the cube to accept it?  Where would the airport syslog show up?  Anybody have any ideas I could try?

Thanks,
Bob.
