Web hosting at home
Discussion
OK got my network working OK.
Got a domain name pointing to my IP address.
Got fronpage 2002 with server extesions installed.
Set firewall to allow web server in. (port 21)
I can see default page on all 3 machines on network.
BUT
Noone else can I've asked.

I get
<%@ Language=JavaScript %>
in the top left corner
Is that because I've got javascript rather than vbscript enabled?
dunno..... sorry..... does anyone else see it?
I see it in my MozillaFirebird broswer, but not in Internet Exploder..... but if I "view source" in IE it *is* there.
Bl**dy Billies manky software again!
Fluffy,
I suspect you're running port redirection on your broadband router. If you are then you've obviously got incoming port 80 requests send to a specific IP address (the IP address of you web server). This will work fine if you're outside of your network (ie external / internet), but you won't be able to access your site internally with your external IP address. The only way round this is to create an entry in your hosts file (c:winntsystem32driversetchosts), along the lines of
www.mydomain.com 192.168.0.x (or whatever your internal RFC1918 subnet is).
It's a pain in the arse because I had exactly the same trouble. It's to do with the routing, since you don't have in inbound route from your external IP address to you internal network (assuming your firewall NAT's your IP address).
Oh, and don't enable port 21 unless you want ftp access, port 80 is HTTP traffic (and 443 for SSL).
Hope this helps

OK added that line.
Closed port 21.
Still can't see server.

Have you changed the redirect from 21 to 80?
Also, you'll need to close down all IE windows if you change the hosts file.
Steve
Changed 21 to 80
restarted computer.
still can't see it.
localhost doen't work anymore (was I supposed to overwrite localhost or add that line)
