Well, what a doozy. NT 4.0 SP6 box (BDC) installed with Proxy Server 2.0 SP1 with IIS 4.0 running also. One NIC card to the router, one to the internal network. Can see the default web site internally, but when accessing the site externally (froma seperate ISP, typing in the domain name), the browser states "The page cannot be displayed". IIS 4.0 has Default web site running. Pinging from outside ISP to domain name receives response, so server is accessible. Tried to assign outside IP toIIS web site, but as soon as I assign an address, proxy services to the clients (i.e. clients ability to access the web) goes dead. I think I have everything setup correctly, but I think I need some major help.

Thanks,

This could be easy or hard...if you are able to access web pages on the internet from the Proxy then you should be configured ok...if you cannot access the web then you might have a permission issue with the security for webproxy service...in the MMC you can access this....

Now if you are trying to access internal web pages that are running on the webserver then on the client machines, connection configuration, lan settings, advance proxy setting put the IP address for the lan in this box...that way IE knows this is a local site on the LAN....

Also on a security note....make sure that IP forwarding is turned off...this prevent the server from trying to be a router.....

Good Luck!

The specific issue is this: Joe Public (anyone trying to get to our web site from outside our network) cannot see our web site. The records are correct, because I can ping the domain name and receive a response. Internal users can access the internet and the company website, but again those from outside cannot.

Thanks,

Leo

Ok..make sure publishing is turned on for the web proxy service and the information is pointing to the right server....I want to say it's the top right tab of the webproxy service in the MMC...
