Folks,

I have a web server running IIS on port 81, inside my office. The office is
connected to the Internet via DSL and a Cisco's SOHO 71 router. My NAT is
setup to route traffic on port 81 to this web server.
I am able to view the default.asp of my root's website from the following
URLS.

1. http://192.168.1.3:81 (When viewed from inside the office)
2. http://external ip:81 (When viewed from outside the office)
3. http://192.168.1.3:81/dir1 (When viewed from inside the office) I see all
the files within the folder, dir1. I am still coming in as anonymous user,
because the web server is an independent Windows 2000 server.

However, http://external-ip:81/dir1, link does not return any result. Note
that, if I misspell the folder name (dir2 instead of dir1), right away I get
a 404 URL not found error.

I would appreciate if any of you wise folks can shed some light on this
problem.

Regards.

What's probably going on is in the website properties, there is no setting
for that outside IP address to connect to. How do you have that setup, as
"All Unassigned?
