ancker 0 Posted April 25, 2001 My HTTP server works for me...but when anyone other than on my local machine tries to view my webpage it says server not found. I also assume i have everything set up fine. I used the wizard(laugh). I tried reinstalling IIS but to no avail. I have Black Ice running but i allow HTTP. Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted April 25, 2001 Sounds like name resolution. How are they entering the name for your server? Have they tried it by IP? Are the clients on your LAN or from another network (like the Internet)? Share this post Link to post
ancker 0 Posted April 25, 2001 yes they are using IP to access... and they are from the internet...no one in my lan has the problem Ancker Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted April 25, 2001 How is your routing configured? Do you have port 80 forwarded properly? Share this post Link to post
Ge0ph 0 Posted April 25, 2001 Are you on a T1, DSL, dial up or what? Do you have a static IP? How are you hooked to the internet? Share this post Link to post
ancker 0 Posted April 25, 2001 shouldn't IIS do the routing for me?? if i set HTTP server shouldn't it map port 80 to the directory i specified? also i'm on a Dial-up Ancker Jade Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted April 26, 2001 IIS does not do routing. In addition, you are using dial up on the server? So, is the server running as a proxy to the internet for your network as well? You should describe your network setup. Share this post Link to post

Elian_Gonzalez 0 Posted April 26, 2001 Get a real webserver... I use Apache 1.3 for Windows on my server, works great http://24.182.188.171 Just moved to a dedicated server, trying to figure out how to get a DNS server setup so I can use my domain name, outrigged.com. Share this post Link to post

Ge0ph 0 Posted April 26, 2001 IIS works fine. I have four seperate web sits on my server and they work fine. www.thirdwish.cc www.ge0ph.com www.twrbs.com www.snowprinciess.net I have DSL and I use a Linksys DSL router so I'm not sure how you would set it up using dialup.

clutch 1 Posted April 26, 2001 I only use IIS and have had no (real ) issues since version 2. Here are some shots in the dark on this one, as I have never hosted a site through a modem before. Are you giving out the proper IP everytime you connect to the net with the modem? Do you have the site setup to respond to "All Unassigned" and have no "Host Header Names" assigned to your site? What thing that tends to happen is if you have *anything* listed for a header name, then that site will ONLY respond that the header names that are entered (i.e. if you have "test" for a header name it will not respond to 210.24.55.128, yourname.dynip.com, or anything else coming in unless they are also added as header names).

Elian_Gonzalez 0 Posted April 26, 2001 Any of you guys interested in detailing to me how to setup the DNS server included in Windows 2000 Adv. Server for my domain name? I'm using some shitty third party software right now, and it expires in 14 days. I don't feel like spending $70 USD on it either, lol. Share this post Link to post
Ge0ph 0 Posted April 26, 2001 http://www.windows2000faq.com/ can tell you how to setup your DNS server. Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted April 26, 2001 Do you have a static IP? And, do you have your domain name registered yet? You would need both of these to start off with. In addition, Win2K DNS REALLY wants a secondary server to sync with. I imagine that if you run it in simple text file mode you might be able to get away with one box and not fill up the event logs with errors. Also, if you want to continue this dialog, create a new thread in "Networking" so others will take a look at it. Share this post Link to post
ancker 0 Posted April 26, 2001 No I do not have headers set up.. is there anything at all i can do? let me know how i can get more detailed ALSO in the event viewer i DO get a "A service has failed to load at startup" error.. but it doesn't tell me which one... Ancker Share this post Link to post
mzaleski 0 Posted May 4, 2001 Did you say that you were running blackice? Go to their website and copy and paste the code to allow web traffic in on 80 first. If that doesn't work let me know. Share this post Link to post
mzaleski 0 Posted May 4, 2001 I am very experienced in DNS. If anyone would like to set up a chat somewhere I would be happy to help. Let me know when and I can try to schedule. Share this post Link to post
nagual 0 Posted May 6, 2001 10.1.*.* is a black/nated ip, its not available from the internet. now i may be missing something here (hungover like hell) but if your friends cannot connect to that ip from intenret theres the answer Share this post Link to post
ancker 0 Posted May 6, 2001 I do know that using the IP 10.1.*.* (in my internal network) is not the problem. They cannot connect to my Public IP 206.5.*.* I will look for code for BLack ICE..thanks for that tip.. We will see if it works. Ancker Jade Share this post Link to post
