Yes, I can ping it from the outside and I'm using Basic Authentication in IIS
for the SharePoint web sites since I read that Windows Authenticaton cannot
pass through the firewall. I know that's bad but again this is a test server.
No money is going to be shelled out for a certificate for a test machine. We
can access it fine internally.
Notice where I said I get one login using correct credentials and 3 tries
using incorrect ones. So I'm thinking it's authenticating me, but then what?
I just get "page cannot be displayed" and in the firewall log only the pop-up
sign in window is showing, I'm not seeing anything after that, no allows or
denies.

Yeah it should not be a issue but it depends on how you are passing your
internal boxes through your firewall. Can you ping it from the outside?

Question was not will FQDN work -- sure it'll work, if I have one -- but
can
WSS be accessed externally using it's IP address (the external address in
the
firewall which NATs to it's internal address that is in DNS with it's
//servername) and NOT a FQDN?
I installed this server over a week ago and still cannot access it from
the
outside and I'm wondering if it's because we don't have a FQDN for it and
are
using an IP. I could just be going in circles trying to access it and
never
will be able to using the IP.

The DNS wont help you because its an Internal DNS and the outside has no
idea what this is. What is your NAT address ? You can problably access
it
that way until you get an external DNS registered but as you say its only
a
test sight so spending the money may not be worth it.
So for a quick answer the FQDN wont work because there are no external
DNS
servers that are aware of this domain or system. Hope this helps

Trying to access a test server we set up to try out WSS v.3 BETA 2 from
externally. We havn't registered a name for the server since it's a
test.
So
we're just using an IP address from our block of IP's to get to it
externally. Is this possible or does it HAVE to have a name.domain.com
to
access it externally?
I entered the server name and IP in Server 2003 DNS record. I mapped
the
external address to the internal address via NAT in the hardware
firewall.
When I type in the IP address externally and hit go I'm presented with
the
login window and it shows up in the firewall log as an "allow", I enter
in
the domain\username and password and the login window goes away and I
get
"This page cannot be displayed" in IE7. Another look at the firewall
log
shows nothing, no allows or denies or any traffic for the server/IP.
Just
the
one entry from the login window. Also I'm only getting the login window
once
so I'm thinking it's accepting the credentials as I've tried using the
wrong
credentials and I get 3 tries. Whereas with the correct credentials I'm
getting one try before getting "page cannot be displayed".
So is it possible to access the SharePoint Services server externally
using
an IP address and not a FQDN?
