Actually you've configured to use a port base of 5080, ie add 5080 to
all port numbers. Hence 5160. You probably want a port base of 5000.

This will depend on how you do your links, and what their port
forwarding service does. You may or may not need to explicitly include
the port number in the links. (You will if you use absolute URLs in the
links and their port forwarding thing just sends a redirect; if they do
the port forward "properly" (proxy the connection), then you probably
shouldn't.)
Unless you can figure out what they're doing you might just have to
experiment and find out.
