Help me out here, I've read Microsofts deal on this and followed directions, set up my router configurations (Wireless-G) and tried a program called XAMPP aswell as DYNU to get this going and still no luck... Someone help me out here, lets start from square one, tell me what do I do to set up a home web server? I'm wanting to host a Website, Forum, and FTP.

Hey shadowfox, I do hope someone in here can help you figure out what the problem is. I have spent I know a couple nights trying to help you set up those. It seems that the port forwarding does not work on the router or something, because the site works on his lan, but does not come through to the internet.

I am Starting a new... Everything stock one Server 2003 is there, I have IIS and installed my DYNU Basic (includes Apache 2.0) And XAMPP(for MySQL) that's it. IIS Is disabled and about to be uninstalled because it's just annyoing, if you knwo how to help me, PLEASE hit me up on MSN, I'll make a guide afterwards if it's not too complicated

The problem though i don't know how to solve MAY lie with all the firewalls he has...

Windows in built firewall, the Routers and others...

He needs to allow the port ON ALL! - There may be more ports you don't know about also

[ShadowFox]

Do explain Karl, but I have turned off the firewall in the router AND it's off by default on Server 2003

I sure hope so I am DIEING to get it running
