Hello all.

i have setup a new IIS server running Small Business Server 2003 and have two websites running off of it. internally (with modification to my host file for testing purposes) i can get to each site just fine.

however, externally i run into some problems. here at work we have a T1 connection, and i know i have to open up and forward the http and ftp ports to my IIS box. since my ISP doesnt give me access to the router config, i have to call them for all requests. i called them twice now and they say everything is in order. yet i still cannot get to my websites (nor could i get to the default when i had that running).

so, supposedly the ports are open, and being directed to my the lan ip that my IIS box is made static at. both websites are unassigned IPs and are being differenciated using the host header function in IIS.

can anyone help me? to me, it seems like the ports are not open and/or forwarded correctly, yet my ISP continues to tell me they are. any thoughts/suggestions?
