Can I run an Internet web server from my home PC (running
Windows 2000 Professional)? If so, how?
I'm trying to use the web server that comes with Windows 2000
Professional, but I can't connect to it (possibly because it's
intended as an INTRAnet server, not an INTERnet server?).
Here's my current setup:
Computer: Homebrew PC w. AMD Athlon 2800 cpu
OS: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
Server: Internet Information Services (part of Win2K-Pro)
Local IP: Fixed IP address for each computer (no DHCP)
Router: Fixed internal (192.168.x.x) and external
(69.108.x.x)
IP addresses; no DHCP; port 80 on server computer
forwarded to port 80 external.
Result: "Web page not found."
I can read my web page by using my comptuter's name instead of
my external address, like so:
http://COMPUTERNAME/
But I want to be able to give an IP address to friends and
have them able to browse the web site on my home PC like so
(hypothetical IP address):
http://69.108.22.117/
If the web server built into Win2K can't do this, is there
some free or cheap (20 or 30 bucks) software I can get
that can handle this job? (If it costs $400, it's NOT
"cheap", at least in my book.)
Any other weird tricks I need to do to get this scheme to
work? (Like port forwarding or other such things?)
Much thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me on
this!
