This is my first time working with a home network, so I am kind of new at this...![]()
I currently have a Linksys WRT54G router hooked up to a desktop PC (wired). I disabled the DHCP client on the PC and gave it the static IP of 192.168.1.20. I am trying to run the IIS web server on port 8080, so in the port forwarding section of the web configuration, I have the following entry:
Application: IIS Web
Start: 8080
End: 8080
Protocol: Both
IP Address: 192.168.1.20
Enable: Yes
However I still cannot access the web server outside of my network. I also have ZoneAlarm installed, but I checked the settings in it and everything seems to be allowed...
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Did you disable your Windows firewall and zone alarm?

I keep the Windows Firewall off and it still didn't work with ZoneAlarm off..

http://portforward.com/linksys/wrt54g-portforwarding.htm Maybe try there for more info and how to set it up. If you want you might want to take a look at my wireless guide to answer any other questions you have.

I actually ended up on that page yesterday and followed everything there... this whole thing is getting pretty confusing for me.

Well now I feel like I just wasted a whole lot of time. As it turns out, in school today I could access pages on my server, and I hadn't changed anything at all. Appearantly when viewing the pages locally, I cannot use the IP assigned by my ISP nor any of the no-ip.com subdomains that point to it - I have to use my LAN IP or computer name... Strange.
