webhosting with Win Server 2003

Hi, all. I've had a tech here for 3 hours and he couldn't get this up and running.

I have: 1 Windows Server 2003 Computer
1 Task Compter
1 Netgear Router
1 Qwest Modem

The router and modem are configured and they are bridged (he did this).
Both computers are able to access the internet.

I need to:

get my static IP address to route to my server/website

Any ideas/tip/solutions would be GREATLY appreciated. I've already paid for well....nothing really...I still can't get my site up.

THANKS!

 

Most routers use something called Network Address Translation (NAT) with an internet connection. This means that while you have a static IP address the router doesn't know which computer to send the data to when someone tries to access the Http port (80).

What you need to do is go into your router's control panel and look for something called port forwarding and forward port 80 to the whatever IP address your server has.

Also make sure you have IIS running on the server.

Hope that helps.
