Did you run this software on the gateway or on the web server?
Try to run it on the gateway - forward port 8900 to 192.168.1.2:89 (the IP if your web server)

Gateway as in router? It's a Linksys standard router, I don't think I can run any custom programs on it?

Then use the build-in port-forwarding of the Linksys router ...
You said before that youe network was like this:
Internet -> WinXP -> Win2000
You didnt mention that you have a HW router.

I don't think I implied I didn't have a router...
Either way, the port forwarding only allows me to direct traffic coming from a certain port to a certain IP? I want to route traffic from a certain port to a certain IP AND change the port the traffic is being sent on as well. I don't see this possibility in my firmware.

Perhaps a port redirection server like rinetd would do the trick. As well as being readily available for linux, there is a windows implementation.

So what's indeed the network toplogy?
[linksys router] -> [windows XP ISC] -> [windows 2000] ?
If so forward port 8900 to WindowsXP box, then use the tool you've download to port forward it to port 89 on windows 200 box.

Router
==> PC1
==> PC2

They are all connected directly to the router.

Supposing you have to PC-s - PC1 and PC2. PC2 is the one with service running on port 89. Run on it the port forwarding software like you did in:
I added the port 8900 to be forwarded to localhost:89, when I connect on
http://localhost:8900/ from the server, it works. When I connect remotely using hostname:8900 I do see the title of the page (FlexiServer) coming up though only when using Opera or FF (not IE7 - that one fails completely: 404), but there is no content... Any idea what could be causing this?
and try to reach this service from PC1 on port 8900, local IP address. If this works, you just need to forward port 8900 in your Linksys router to your PC2 IP.
PS: Switch your PC2 firewall off while you are trying it.
