Web server issue

Hi All,

I have a web server (IIS using ASP .NET 2.0) behind a broadband router.
I cannot get the web server to be visible on the internet. I can run
the web site from the computer it is hosted on though.

On the router I have opened the port 80 to allow the traffic through
(using port forwarding), and also tried to run it in DMZ mode, but
neither seem to work.

I ran 'netstat -ano' and it seemed to suggest when I connected to the
web site (internet IP #) that other ports were needed as well as 80,
perhaps 2676, 2483, 2677. I thought this wouldn't be the case, but
perhaps these ports relate to me using MSSQL server 2005 in my web site
(MSSQL is running on the same computer as IIS so that is not an issue).

I am also running zone alarm, but when I kill that app it doesn't make
any difference.

Please help.

Thanks,

Peter.

Peter, I'd suggest you post to a newsgroup which supports either IIS or ASP
..NET with these details. This newsgroup supports Microsoft's Broadband
Networking hardware and software only, not IIS or .NET functionalities.

The first thing to check is the your ISP doesn't block Port 80 (many of them
do). If they do, then all your attempts to get the outside world to see
your site will be in vain... however you can change the port.
