no basic auth from outside network

[rattus]

Hi - first post here.. I've built an nginx server with SSL and basic
auth. Basic auth works great from within my network but when I try to
come in from outside (via port forwarding on my router) my http pages
work fine, but the protected pages with SSL just hang.

I'm thinking of 2 possibilities: 

1) I've messed up something in my nginx.conf, or
2) I'm blocking a port that's needed other than 80 or 443.

Any ideas?

Thanks, 

Mike
