New Thomson router doesn't display local website

On moving to Plusnet ADSL I installed the Thomson 585 router which works fine except for displaying anything from my locally hosted (IIS 7.5) website (which was accessible with the previous router)
I can ping the site name and verify its IP address from a command promplt so it looks like IIS is running okay. The Windows firewall is set to allow TCP port 80 traffic.
The router firewall is set to allow TCP port 80 traffic (checked with the ShieldsUp site) and Games/Applications in the router is set to allow HTTP Server on port 80-->port 80 and associated with "my PC's name" as the device.
All other websites work fine but my local one spends a few seconds "Waiting for mysitename to respond" and then gives a page cannot be displayed response.
Any more ideas?

Is IIS 7.5 running on your PC or a separate server?

IIS 7.5 is running the website from the standard inetpub directory that the files are published to by Frontpage on the PC.
PS I should have added that I've tried to access the local website using both its name and its IP number in the browser (just in case the router didn't like the named option) and neither work - just a few seconds "waiting for a response from ......name or number", then: this page cannot be displayed.

You have to enable Loopback which I believe the Thomson support but you have to use telnet to do it.

If you download the CLI commends http://www.technicolorbroadbandpartner.com/getfile.php?id=6064 you need to enbale natloopback under IP config.

Thanks - I changed the natloopback to enabled under the telnet + cli method (and saveall, and even went back in later to check it was saved.)
Still just get: waiting... page cannot be displayed (even tried powering the router down and back up and checking the router settings again).
Whilst I was in a command window I also checked that the router's IP is correctly noted under the default gateway entry on the PC's ipconfig /all.
