IIS 5.1 default web page ?

Hello,

My Win XP box hosts a very simple website at home for relatives and friends,
and I use redirectors (DynDNS and DNS2GO) in order to make it available
24/7.

My computer is on a WLAN network, so the WLAN router gets the dynamic IP,
and incoming requests on port 21,80 are redirected to my web server machine,
which is in a DMZ. I use a software firewall on that machine (ZoneAlarm).
With this, my ftp server is visible and works fine, and I can use remote
desktop connection from work. Trouble is that requests for my homepage must
be formulated using "index.html" at the end, or my homepage remains
invisible.

Examples:
www.brokenbones.d2g.com/index.html
www.brokenbones.mine.nu/index.html

I recently clean formatted my HDD and reinstalled everything, and since then
the computer behaves like this. Before that, my home page was available with
both redirectors, but without the "index.html" expression.

Any suggestion ?

Right click the website in IIS Manager, and click Properties. Click on the
Documents tab, and add index.html to the top of the list.
