Folks can see my webserver on port 8080 from the internet. I cannot
see it myself. Is that weird or am I missing something? Thx in
advance for any advice!

How is everything set up? Is IIS running on port 8080, or do you have port
forwarding from 8080 to 80, and IIS is running on port 80?

Does your router (if any) have loop back capabilities?

Hi -
Port 8080 is the port being used by the webserver and the router port
forwards to the machine's internal IP address at that port.

I'm not sure if loopback is a capability of the router. I don't see
anything that mentions it unless Netgear calls it something else.
(Netgear WGR614v6). Do you think that's an issue?

If you can use http://localhost:8080/ to access the website from the
server itself, but you cannot use an external name or IP address from
within your internal network, then i do think it is a networking problem
and likely the router does not support loop back.

This may be unrelated but I thought it would be worth mentioning:

Over the course of the last week folks (including myself) started
noticing that we were not able to hit my site from an external source
(in addition to the originally posted issue of not being able to
connect to the external address from inside the network).

I'm in Northern Virginia with Cox as the ISP. Possibly port 8080 is
now being blocked as well as 80? I changed the port number and all is
well again.
