So if ping to the IP fails (after reading your other post i thought you
pinged the name and not IP), then it is a networking issue. This has
nothing to do with IIS.
It is not weird at all that you cannot ping the external IP from inside.
If a NAT router for example is assigned this IP, and this device do not
support loopback, you will not be able to ping the external IP.
