Hi Al

I am having a major problem creating a website accesable from from the internet. Background info: server was upgraded from SBS2000 and therfore has ISA2000 on it. It has two netwrok cards, one internal, and one external, bot static. Since upgrading I need to create a new website for a new stream of business. I have contacted my ISP to create a new domain for this site and mapped it to the servers exteranl IP. All fine

Now I go to IIS in the server management console, right click in the "websites" pane and sleect New-->Web site. Follow the steps choosing the the exteranl server IP address and typing in the new domain name in the host header field. Finish the wizard and voila, the site wont start. Get the error message "The network location cannot be reached. For more information about Windows network troubleshooting, see windows Help."

Right, now trying to troubleshoot this, if i change the IP to the internal one it starts. I have rerun the the Internet Connection wizard and selected Yes to the firewall bit. In the bit where it asks what parts of the server to make availble from the internet, I have selected all, including the website (wwwroot). still no luck. tried a bit of fiddling with ISA but i'm not too hot on it so didn't come to a solution

Something I find quite wierd is that the "Default Web Site" (wwwroot) is only set on the internal interface but IS accessable from the internet

Can anybody reccomend anything else I can try

Thanks for your help
Luke

Hi Luke,

Thank you for using Microsoft Technical Support Newsgroups.

You will need to use the HTTPCFG utility included with the Windows Server
2003 Support Tools. These are located on CD#2.

From a command prompt, type the following command:
httpcfg query iplisten

You should see your internal IP address and 127.0.0.1

Next, type the following command:
httpcfg set iplisten -i x.x.x.x
- where "x.x.x.x" is your external IP address.

Again, perform the httpcfg query iplisten command to view the results. At
this point, attempt to start the website. If it still fails, it may be
necessary to restart the server for the changes to take effect.

Once again, thank you for using the newsgroups.

Best Regards,

Hi Thanks for the advice. It worked! I can now start the web site

I was just wondering what this acutally did and whether it is a security risk?
