How to allow Internet user to connect to IIS home web server?

web server
YX asked:


I installed Internet Information Service (IIS) on my home PC and the web service is running successfully when I access http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost. But I can’t access it using my public IP address, of course I can access it through internal private address.

I am using a 2wire 2700HG model and configure port forwarding which is port 80 but to no avail. However FTP server is successful through port 21 setting, can anyone tell me what’s the problem? I am in Singapore using ISP Singnet, is it that my ISP blocks this cability?

    Your ISP may block this service. First verify that you do not have your Windows firewall blocking port 80 also.

    The site you should try learning this is the site you should try wwwdslwebservercom ps singnet does not block port 80.

    Can you at least telnet to the port 80 from the outside,
    if yes, the it then make sure to set website settings to listen on internal IP instead of All avalaible addresses.
