I have a website at home on W2k3 and I can't access it outside my home
network. I used host header and can access it via http://sub.mydomain.com at
home. Accessing it from the outside or in the office, it is trying to load
and suddenly gives, http 500 - internal server error.

I have an ADSL at home and a router where the web server is connected and
other pc's at home. I used port 80 forwarding.

Do you think this is blocked by the ISP? But why can I access it from any
pc's at home not using local host but the registered domain?

Any ideas is appreciated.

Thanks

If you are getting a 500 Server error you need to determine why.

1) Disable HTTP Friendly errors in IE
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q294807

2) Check with your ISP if port 80 is disabled

3) Can you access your site via IP Address from outside of the localdomain.

4) How have you created your domain and sub domain - who handles the DNS?

5) Does the DNS domain resolve to your external IP Address?

I did but nothing much information to go on. Just check DNS and proxy
settings.

I tested it with different port and it works. I guess my ISP block port 80.
