Basic Setup Problem

Hi.
I've tested the server it works on http://localhost
I've port forwarded port 80 to my servers internal IP address on the
router.
I've configured windows firewall to allow 80 and HTTP service.
Permissions are set to annonymous.

But I'm getting squat. Any ideas?

ARGGGH!

I checked the log files. It looks like the request is never getting to my
server.

If you're trying to test using the public IP address set on your router from
inside it'll likely not work - most routers won't allow packets destined for
the public IP address to be sent from the internal interface, it's part of
the anti-spoof handling. If you can provide the public IP address I'd be
happy to test it for you.

Hello,

Perhaps your ISP forbids you to run a server, thus blocking port 80?
Please check with your ISP that they do not block port 80.
