I'm trying to set up an internal webserver on my home PC so I can access Terminal Services through IE. I'm on cox broadband in Orange County and am using an SMC7004ABR router with dhcp enabled. In my current setup I have IIS, Terminal Services (Remote Admin mode) and the ActiveX control installed in Windows 2000 AS. My router is configured to pass through port 80 and port 3??? for terminal services. When on the internal LAN I can access the home page and get access to terminal service through IE. When I try to connect to the server from the outside, I can't get the homepage to load at all, just get an error that the page cannot be loaded.
I am able to access Terminal Services using the client connection manager without any problems, and I can even get the ActiveX control to work if I first connect to another webserver running the control (does that make sense?). For some reason however, I cannot connect to a normal webpage from outside my LAN. I have tried using different ports with IIS but nothing seems to work. Anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks,
Dave
