Home web server using DSL?
WMD:
Actually, this might be a problem with Windows after all. I remember trying to set up IIS/5.1 once. I had the same problem as you. But, Apache (still on Windows) seemed to work. It's weird :confused:

As I said before in so many words, you should use Linux if feasible. Other than that, I said that you should use software other than Microsoft's for your server needs. Windows IIS would be all fine and dandy if it wouldn't cause some of the most unholy shit you will ever run across in your long career as a network technician. I advocate FileZilla and Apache for Windows users - not necessarily because I want them to use Linux - but because I want them to see how much easier OSC/OSS/whatever you want to call it can make your life.

Agreed :D
And welcome to microsuck by the way
pccarguy91- did you get this resolved?

I havent had much time, but have made some progress.
I upgraded my dsl modem to the pro version.
(to set up port forwarding to my pc using the command line.)
I changed the port of my web service to 8000.
(in case 80 was blocked.)
I had a little luck reaching the legal ip address of my modem from outside my home network by ip address only. Then I changed something and that stopped working, couldnt figure out what was wrong, so i reset to default settings, and havent had time to work on it again.
I havent tried reaching my legal domain name (at the time the dns entries hadnt been distributed).
So for now I still believe it is an issue with my modem's configuration.....

I had the same problem when I was using DSL. The problem turned out to be the DSL modem. I turned on port fwding as per instructions, but no joy. I kept getting the web access config page. What I had to do is set up the DSL in 'bridge mode', bypassing the modem altogether, and letting my linux box do the pppoe authentication and connecting.
I suggest turning off all firewall services and running Ethereal (http://www.ethereal.com/) packet sniffer to see if you see packets coming from outside the network.
Before any of this will work of course, check to see if the ip address of your dsl modem is the ip address that the DNS server is returning for your domain name. But you probably already did this step.
Good Luck, I'm new to this whole posting online thing, (kindof a do it myself my way type) but I'll try to check back here.
