I would suggest using static address as probably what has happen is you device PC-1 has been allocated a new address but the forwarding has remembered the old address allocated to PC-1.
Use a static address outside the DHCP range.

How would I do that? I have no idea what a DHCP range is.

Make sure the host on your LAN that you want to forward HTTP traffic to has a static IP, rather than DHCP ( it's IP probably assigned to it by your router). So, check the network card config of the machine concerned. Make sure you give it a specific IP address and netmask. Then, if possible, on the router enter that IP in the port forward rules (rather than selecting a hostname). I'm guessing that is possible with your router but haven't used one for a while.
