If I understand you right, it works ok on your lan and on the server-system it self? If so we should be concentrating on the router I guess.
Maybe you should describe your sytem and lan architecture and also list the things you have done to make it work until now.

Can you access your router over the internet? This will confirm that you have your IP correct (you may have to enable WAN side access or similar on the router). Then you could try accessing another completely different application over the internet to check your port forwarding on your router is working correctly. Some free examples would be vnc (remote desktop software) uses port 5900, or filezilla (ftp server) uses port 21, or even remote desktop if you've got XP pro on port 3389 (it will need enableing in 'my computer' properties)

well I've tried filezila and it all works fine, also I disabled the router's firewall pretty much left myself open to the world but still can't access my guide from outside my network. ?

I have never used the web-admin but have been using the free version of LogMeIn to remotley operate GBPVR and it works like a charm.

I guess you're doing this already if it works on the LAN, but are you using the full path (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:7647/gbpvr/guide.aspx) rather than just xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:7647 ???

Also what brand of router are you using? I had a cheap generic chinese router that called port forwarding 'virtual server' or similar and it never worked well. I changed it for a (not much more expensive) netgear router and it works fine.
