[AccessD] Using No-IP and setting up a web page

Jason,

I tried forwarding port 80 to the 192.168 address of the server running IIS.
However when I type in the firewall ip address in explorer, it times out.  I
saw references to the isp possibly blocking port 80.  how do I tell if they
are doing this?

You've got to foward the ports from your router/firewall to the computer
than runs the web server, otherwise, its invisible to the outside world.  If
you need any help, just holler.

Mark,

Thanks for this tip.  I have been wanting to set up something like this
forever.  I found a quick and dirty setup for IIS at
http://www.no-ip.com/tips.php/id/6 which I did and now have a web site
running on IIS internal to my network.  However I run behind a dlink DI-704
router / firewall.  Thus while I can see the web page if I type in the
internal ip address 192.168.1.150, even from my other computers, I don't
know how to "see it" from outside of my network.  I.e. my route ip address
is 67.86.208.122 but obviously that doesn't get me inside the firewall to
the web server running on 1.150.  

Am I going to have to place this computer outside the firewall?  "Poke
holes" through the firewall?  Does anyone know how to allow a web site
running on a computer behind a firewall to be accessible from the WWW?

I use http://www.no-ip.com/ to avoid static IP hassle/charges/etc.  

Works like a charm.
