Problems accessing hello.asp

I'm testing a webserver using MS Server 2003 and IIS 6.0. IIS appears
to be running fine from within my LAN. I can access
http://localhost/index.htm from any machine on the LAN. I also setup
an ftp server. I can access the ftp server from a remote computer but
I am having timeouts when trying to access the web server. In other
words, from a remote computer, if I try to access http://www.myhost.com
the error message tells me "The server at www.myhost.com is taking too
long to respond."

Trying to access the ftp server on the same machine and it comes up
almost immediately, but I get a timeout on the web server.

Am I missing something with the configuration of IIS?

Sorry folks,

I pulled the trigger too soon. I forwarded port 80 through my firewall
and everything is working great now.
