Hi,
I have set up a web site which runs off one of our internal web servers. Everything works fine when I try to access the site from within our network but unfortunately it doesn't work at all when I try to access it over the internet - I get "Cannot find server" error page.
I have configured NAT so that one of our external IP addresses points to the internal IP address of the server - I know this is working because I have accessed other services on that server externally. I have also purchased a domain name and have configured its A record to point to the server's external IP address. I have configured the host header name in IIS to the domain name.
I have also opened port 80 on our firewall so that it is open for the source as the internal LAN web server IP and the destination as "*".
I'm almost totally sure it's a firewall issue because:
1) It works fine internally within our network
2) It still doesn't work when I add the domain name and external IP to my Hosts file (therefore it won't be a domain issue)
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem could be? Do I only have to open port 80 for IIS?
TIA.
