I'm setting up my IIS in WinXP to host my own website. It worked perfectly fine before. But now it doesn't work. I can view my website with my computer only, I cannot access the website elsewhere. I don't think I'm behind a firewall.
yes, i tried to ping myself, both with doman name and numeric IP address... they are all returned in 0m 0s 0 everything. i thought that's because i'm pinging localhost.
and yes, i have tried to acccess with my website by both with domain name and numeric addresses. both are not working.
it worked perfectly fine before. althoug i don't recall any changes are made to the configuration of IIS. and matter of fact, i re-installed OS. but that didn't fix the problem.
will that be because the listening ports are blocked? by ISP or whatever... I'm not familiar with that at all...
you gave me a very good tip on the Windows Security thing. I never paid attention at that before. And apparently my network services for HTTP web server and secure web server were both un-selected.
