Hi,

I am experimenting with Windows Server 2003 and
I would like to setup a web server (IIS). I
bought a domain (claytoncurmi.com) and pointed
it to my server (that has a fixed ip). The
server is equipped with 2 NICs, one connected
to the ADSL modem (speedtouch) and another with
my internal network. I can access the webpage
internally, however I cannot access it outside
the network. I tried to ping the server but it
failed (request timed out). I googled this and
found out that i have to set up a NAT and open
port 80 on the firewall. However this still
didn't work! I tried various "how to's" but
none seems to help. I switched off the firewall
and still the same.

Should i set up something on my modem?! Like a
default server?! below are the settings i have!

External NIC Config (connected to the modem)

IP: 10.0.0.1
SUBNET: 255.0.0.0
DEFAULT GATEWAY: 10.0.0.138

DNS: 194.158.37.196

Internal NIC Config (connected to the network)

IP: 192.168.0.1
SUBNET: 255.255.255.0
DEFAULT GATEWAY: none;

DNS: 192.168.0.1

What could be the problem?! Thanks in advanced.

Regards,
Clayton

In your speedtouch ADSL modem, see if it has functionality to do "port forwarding" or "pinholes." If so, configure port 80 to forward to your 10.0.0.1 IP. Otherwise, you can configure 10.0.0.1 as the "default server" as you mentioned, but I would do that only as a last resort if the individual port forwarding functionality is not present.
