Port forwarding to transmission

[anthonyonions]

I'm having a bit of trouble accessing transmission externally. I've setup port forwarding on my router to the 9091 port and the pi ip address. It loads up the navigation etc but then says "Connection Failed" below it.

The external ip address of the router is in the rpc-whitelist in the settings.json. I'm able to access the pi command line via ssh externally using the same method of port forwarding.

Does anyone have any suggestions that I could try to sort this?

Thanks
Ant

It now seems to be giving the '403 - Forbidden' error, even though the rpc settings are correct.
