I have a computer set up with Windows Server 2003, and have set up the application server and am hosting an internal website on our network.

I would like for this website to be available via the internet (i.e. from outside of our network). The website works perfectly inside of our network, and I have it connected to the internet with no FIREWALL (bad security I know, but this is just for testing RIGHT now and it is not connected internally). It is connected with a public ip address, and when I ping this ip from a remote location it responds (I ran tracert, to verify that it was actually mine, and not somebody else's). Also, I have anonymous access enabled on the server, and it is read-enabled.

Yet when I try to access it from a remote location (url: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/index.html), it cannot FIND the page.

thanks,
-darryltalk with your IT people and they can get it setup "securely" for use, then they can get
it setup for access from external sites....the road your going down is asking for trouble for your organization...IMO


Good LuckI am the IT people.

I appreciate your concern for our security.
So the Server 2003 box is connected directly to a cable/DSL modem or T1 CSU/DSU? If it's connected to a router, you need Port 80 open on the router and pointing to the Server 2003 box.It is connected DIRECTLY to the modem (i.e. no firewall)Does the modem itself have its own NAT router built in?
