Hi. Do you have a support contract for the 760 to allow you to download
software updates ? From the information you posted, you are running version
4.2.3. I've checked online and the current version is
4.4.7 I will try and get the release notes for the newer versions to see
what fixes are listed in case this is related to your problem.

On the ports you are unsure about below, where it says Router, does it
actually say 'Router' in the config file, or have you replaced an IP address
with the word Router ?

> 68 Router DHCP Client
> 69 Router TFTP
> 162 Router SNMP-TRAP
> 520 Router RIP

I can see why a few of these may be open, but not all of them. TFTP for
example will likely be open to allow you to transfer files to a from the
router such as firmware. But these ports should not be open to the external
network. At most they should be internal access only for security unless
you have a need to use it externally.

Is the router configured to use a fixed IP etc or does it receive its
network details from the ISP using DHCP ?

I can't think why the router requires Port 80 to allow Port 443 other than a
possible bug or oversight in earlier firmware. Do you have logging enabled
on the router to allow you to monitor what is happening e.g. syslog server ?
If you have logging enabled when you disable HTTP port forwarding and only
enable forwarding of SSL using SET IP PAT PORTHANDLER 443 [server IP], what
logs are generated when you try and access a web page via SSL ?

As a test you could also try forwarding port 80 and port 443, configure port
443 to be forwarded to your valid server IP, but configure the port 80
forward to an invalid unused IP. This wouldn't be a suitable long term
solution, but may help in working out why both are required.
