I have my old AMD Duron 700MHz with 512MB RAM configured as a server running Windows Server 2003, It's connected with a static IP (192.168.0.10) to my Network (Powered by a NetGear router).
If I'm sitting at the server or at another Network computer and I go to http://68.9.123.xxx:81 I cannot access the site, I get a 404 Server not found. If I go to http://192.168.0.10:81 I can access the site just fine.
If I'm at any computer NOT on my network, and I go to http://68.9.123.xxx:81 it works just fine.
Same thing goes for my FTP Site's.
Why is it doing this? It's not that bad, but I like being able to test URLs before I IM or E-Mail them to someone.
Thanks! |

| You probably need to either open the port on your firewall and/or set up port address translation through your router. |

The Windows Internet connection firewall is disabled on the LAN adapter....there is no other firewall (other than the Router). Port forwarding is enabled...
I don't understand why it's not letting me access myself (lol).
Hmm....I can Ping myself though. |

just out of curiousity, on the machine you are trying to access it with and can not, go to a command line and type this:
ipconfig /flushdns
then try again. |

My ISP blocks port 80. (I use 80 as an internal Dev site though if it matters.
Why would that have anything to do with it anyway? Anyone NOT on my network can access it just fine. |

| Since you are using an uncoventional port, I wanted to see if it would work through conventional protocols. |

| Oh, well they don't block 21 (FTP) and it's the same issue there as well. |

You might try a tracert from your box to the external IP and see if it works.

Errm....I'm too newbieish to understand what to do.
Tracing route to ip68-9-123-xxx.ri.ri.cox.net [68.9.123.xxx]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms ip68-9-123-xxx.ri.ri.cox.net [68.9.123.xxx]
Trace complete.

^^^ are you doing this from the server? there should be more than one hop. also, you may want to look at your hosts files on all the machines. let me know if you have any other entry besides localhost. it is located here:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
and when opened with a text editor should look something like this:
hosts
=====
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost

That Tracert is the same on the Server and two other network computers.
Nope, All I have is localhost.
I'm thinking this is a weird default in Win2k3? I remember it worked fine With WinXP and my Linksys router a long time ago, maybe that's it? |

I only have one hop when I tracert out from a workstation to my external IP address, so that looks normal to me.
Is there a software firewall on W2003 like there is on XP? The XP firewall can interfere with external web traffic and not lan traffic on a XP server.
