IIS web server behind a router

I am running IIS on an XP pro machine and I just bought a linksys router. I am using ipupdater to connect my IP and a regular web address because my server ip is not static.


My problem is that my server is no longer visible/accessible outside my router. How do I set it up to work?

If you need any more info, please let me know. thanks!

You need to set up port forwarding in the router to forward port 80 trafic to the internal IP of the web server.

Hi. also need help.

I have three computers at home. I have them named as PCSERVER, STATION1 and STATION2 and are connected via a hub all running Windows XP Prof. I have IIS 5.1 installed on the PCSERVER and hosting a test ASP site using this computer. I can access the ASP site just by typing http://PCSERVER on either one of my other two computers Internet browser.

Now the problem. I bought a DLink router to share my net connection. After installing the router, I am not able to access the IIS site on my PCSERVER anymore. If I will type http://PCSERVER on one of my two workstations, it says the Page Cannot be displayed. Then I remove the router. It worked again. So I decided to setup port forwarding on the router after finding out that my PCSERVER uses 192.168.0.1 as well as my router. So I changed my PCSERVER static IP to 192.168.0.100 and my other two workstations to 192.168.0.101, 192.168.0.102 respectively. On Virtual Server setup on the router, I point the http service to my IIS server (192.168.0.100) to port 80 and uses TCP. But after doing it, i am still unable to access the PCSERVER via http://PCSERVER on my IE browser on either of my two workstations. Any suggestions? Thank you very much in advance.

Try using the external IP address. PCSERVER is the netbios name of the server and that name won't get through the router. From outside use a url (if you have DNS on your connection) or use the external IP
