Little help with IIS on local PC please(asp.net/dataone conn)

[Rollercoaster]

hi guys

I have been learning asp.net. earlier while coding the site was hosted by the inbuilt local server.

now i have been experimenting with IIS. After a lot of headaches I have setup IIS and it works smoothly local.
but the problem is that remote PCs cant connect to my website.

I am on dataone 256kbps connection with dynamic IPs
and the address i have been giving is like

http://59.94.129.164/website1 (this IP is my current IP while typing the post)
I can open this address in my browser but my frnds are getting no-response and not-found errors. tho they can ping me.

I have already checked the port to be 80.
and this is the external IP of my pc i.e visible to the internet(not my internal LAN IP)

any tips please? someone told me that for IIS there should be a static IP. is that true? tho logic doesnt suggest that.

never worked with ISP .. but definately IIS cannot in any way itself differenciate whehter it is a static IP or a Dynamic one.. surely there is no problem from that side

i think the problem might be that BSNL might have blocked those ports from there side?? not sure though

Try to open the website from some other PC on ur Lan! If it opens fine, then ur IIS server is up n running fine. The problem lies in port forwarding. Check that out.

I too faced similar problem. I cud telnet to my router from LAN, but not from outside world! I had to enable remote adminstration like settings then.

Try to explore ur router and enable port forward!

now it is working.. but only after disabling the windows firewall entirely.

how do i config windows firewall for IIS http requests?

i enabled the previous http ports in firewall. then i changed it in IIS but forgot to do in win firewall.
