IIS Don't Serve Outside of Network

[Guest]

I was running McAfee Personal Firewall Plus, and McAfee VirusScan as seperate
program installs. I purchased McAfee Internet Security Suite 7 a few days ago
with one year of subscription update services also. Before installing this
new program, my website worked just fine. I serve a .com website from my home
computer on a dialup connection. I use a dynamic IP service called DynDNS. As
said before, the website was accessable and worked like it was supposed to
while running my previous McAfee products. After installation of McAfee
Internet Security Suite 7, I noticed when I typed my domain into I.E. it
would work for a long while and eventually I would recieve a 404 Cannot Find
Server. I contacted McAfee and they told me to disable one service of their
program at a time until I found which program was causing the problem. This
did nothing. So I began uninstalling different program services one at a time
to see what would happen. I uninstalled McAfee Privacy Service and all of a
sudden I could now access my website through the above listed procedure,
typing it into I.E. on the computer that the website is served from. I
thought my problem was fixed until I contacted a few clients and they said
they recieved a 'Unable to Display' error and also a 404 Cannot Find Server.
I figured that somehow all outside connections were being blocked. So I
uninstalled McAfee Personal Firewall which left me with only two McAfee
services, VirusScan and SpamKiller. I was still able to view my website from
I.E. on the computer serving the site, but was unable to view the site from a
computer not on my home network. Like I said before, i was running VirusScan
and Personal Firewall Plus, and my site worked just fine. I'm still unable to
access the website from any remote computer. It seems that something is
blocking the connection. My FTP server works when accessed from the computer
its served from on I.E. as does the website also. But it dont work from
outside computers. Please help ASAP (e-mail address removed) or

I think you just narrowed you list of possible fixes...

I serve a .com website from my home
computer on a dialup connection. I use a dynamic IP service called DynDNS. As
said before, the website was accessable and worked like it was supposed to
while running my previous McAfee products. After installation of McAfee
Internet Security Suite 7, I noticed when I typed my domain into I.E. it

typing it into I.E. on the computer that the website is served from.

So, you actually have fixed your problem then.

thought my problem was fixed until I contacted a few clients and they said
they recieved a 'Unable to Display' error and also a 404 Cannot Find Server.
I figured that somehow all outside connections were being blocked. So I
uninstalled McAfee Personal Firewall which left me with only two McAfee

I.E. on the computer serving the site, but was unable to view the site from a

Have you checked your dynamic IP service? Has your ISP blocked port
80? Have you fully removed *all* McAfee products?

Post to the IIS groups and you'll get better help.
