I am trying to make my home machine a webserver for a project I am working on. Here is my configuration
Windows XP Professional
Linksys Router
I set up my IIS server 5.1 to listen the default web browser on port 200. I have also tried 1000 8000 9000 2333 etc.... When I type the url http://192.168.1.20:200/index.asp from my computer or any computer inside my network everything works fine and page is served up. When I try to do it outside my network it does not work. PLEASE NOTE I AM USING MY IP that is assigned to me from Optimum Online when I try from the outside. I also use the WAN IP on the inside and it works as well. I have tried everything.
DOES CABLEVISION block all web traffic on any port from home servers?
Am I doing something incorrectly?
I even removed my linksys router from the equation and tried without it. Still nothing.
The error I receive is "Page cannot be displayed"
Is there a log somewhere that would tell me if the request is actually reaching IIS at all?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Anthony

I know that OptOnline definitely blocks port 80. I think they might block all http: server requests on all ports, but not exactly sure.

Oh, one more thing ... you have to set up port fowarding on your router. I know the Linksys ones (at least the one I have) support this feature.
Go to 192.168.1.1 to the router config panel, then to advanced, then to port fowarding. And make sure you have access from port 200 on the outside gets forwarded to 192.168.1.20 port 200 on the inside of your LAN.

Thanks for the info regarding the router. I already have port forwarding set already.
Does anyone know for sure if Cablevision is blocking all HTTP requests?

Nope, Cablevision is not blocking HTTP requests from home servers. Do you have a firewall set? Have you tried pinging yourself from the external IP? Also, have someone else ping you just to be sure.

I can ping myself and I can ping my IP without a problem from outside my network. I dont have a firewall set and I using a linksys router with WAN blocking disabled. I'm a techie and this thing is really starting to annoy me.

just to reconfirm what u've said, is that u can access ur url internally via "http://192.168.1.20:200/index.asp," but when you access the site externally via "http://(ur.ip.addy.here)//index.asp" it is inaccessible?

I am having the same exact problem. Somebody informed me earlier that Optimum Online does block the ports from home servers but he wasn't entirely sure. If anybody has Optimum online with a Linksys router and knows how to get the server up and running, then please post a reply to this thread.
Thank you very much in advance!

I have gotten my website up using my ip address:8000, but it did not work at :80. As soon as I changed it in iis, it went immediately. Also, I am using a linksys befsr41. The forwarding is necessary, as is, according to linksys, making your server static from the router.
Now a question... is there anyway to have people that go to my domain name automatically get to a different port than 80?
