Do you know if your ISP is blocking port 80 access. Many ISPs do this.
You can check on the remote machine by using TELNET to port 80 of your
server to enter:
GET / HTTP/1.0 [enter]
[enter]
If it doesn't connect, then the ISP is blocking port 80. Your choices are
to either move your website to another unblocked port, or run the server on
an ISP that allows port 80.

I already turn off IE's "Show Friendly HTTP Errors" . The message is not
change.
My server connect to Internet using a DSL modem (no router no firewall). My
client connect to internet using dial-up. So that mean client server re both
on Internet. I think my DNS is fine be cause the client can ping to
www.mysite.com. If something wrong with DNS, client can only ping to my
Server IP address not the www.mysite.com. Thank you!----- David Wang [Msft]

error.
If it is "cannot find Server or DNS error" but everything works on the
server, then the problem is NOT with the server but with how networking
is
configured between the client and server. Such as:
1. How is a client supposed to resolve www.mysite.com to an IP to know
how
to get to your computer? DNS/WINS set up correctly?
2. Is there anything between the clients that is blocking requests over
port
80 (used by HTTP?) Being able to PING a machine says NOTHING about
whether
port 80 is accessible -- only thing you've proven is that there is
network
connectivity between the client and server over some port, but nothing
about
whether port 80 is accessible.
It would help if this is:
1. Client/Server both on Intranet
2. Client/Server both on Internet
3. Client /Server are not both on Internet or Intranet
