Apache available on LAN but get timeout over internet

Question

I have a LAN network and a server runs on 192.168.1.90 The apache listen parameter is set to 192.168.1.90:80 I have enabled NAT to forward all http port 80 request from the web to the server at 192.168.1.90

for a different machine 192.168.1.3 I can access the server by typing in 192.168.1.90 in the browser address bar. But when I make a request from an external network over the internet using my external IP ie: 122.109.x.107 The browser just says connecting and never connects.

The last entry of my access log

    192.168.1.3 - - [07/Jan/2013:19:08:57 +0530] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 502 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0"

NOTE: New requests are not getting added, tried few more times after this, those are not in the log

I am getting a connection timed out after some time

Do you have a firewall in front of your web server? Is the routing table correct on the web server? — Khaled, Jan 08 '13 at 10:23
iptables set to allow all traffic, both on the server and the browsing system — blas, Jan 08 '13 at 10:52
Can you post the output of `iptables -n -L` on both machines? Also, please post the output of `route -n` on the web server. — Khaled, Jan 08 '13 at 11:04
Output for `iptables -L -n -t nat` >> http://pastebin.com/vW71XUFP — blas, Jan 08 '13 at 12:57
Do you have ip forwarding enabled? Output of `/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward` should be 1. — Khaled, Jan 08 '13 at 13:09
Yes it is 1 on the server. My router is set to NAT web requests to the server — blas, Jan 08 '13 at 13:29

Ok at last figure it out, was issue with iptables firewall. I just reset the entire firewall and then used my own rules :)

you can use webmin if you need a gui, I personally prefer the terminal.
