| I have a cable modem (Adelphia) connection at home. I have IIS installed
and I have a ton of ASP pages and a few virtual directories set up. They
have expected behavior using http://localhost/whatever. I have a router,
and have forwarded port 80 to my machine. I am unable to access
pages/directories using:
http://myipaddress/whatever
....from work. Does this have something to do with my ISP not accepting
traffic of this kind? Is there a way around this? I don't want to run a
public site, just a private one.
Thanks,
James

| Many ISPs block port 80. Perhaps your ISP do that? You could try to run
IIS on a different port. This may however violate the agreement you have
signed with your ISP (for example if they forbid you to run servers)
You would then access the website using:
http://123.123.123.123:8080/whatever
Assuming 123.123.123.123 is the public IP, and port 8080 is the port you
used instead of 80.

| Bingo...that worked. I figured that was the problem but was unaware of a
setting in IIS to change the port it operates on. You inspired me to find
it and it works just fine now. Thank you. I'll contact them and see if
this falls under acceptable use.
