About IIS

Hi,
I've created my own web site, but the IIS server is not the one connecting
to the internet, it's one of the computer in the network, having IP
192.168.0.2.
If I want to access this web site from outside the network, what IP
address should I type? Thx.

192.168.0.2 can't be routed on the internet, its a private address. It might
be worthwhile for you to study tcp/ip and DNS a little.

Uh.,,,,depends on your firewall or NAT router and it will have to be
configured to NAT the private address to the public address. If you do not
know what it is ask your network administrator. OR give us some info about
your firewall config and we'll try to help......

Hi,
I don't have firewall or router on both computers, is there any way people
from outside the network to access my web site? Thx.

Correction: you do have a router. Next time you connect to internet, run
ipconfig /all and read the IP address that your ISP provider gave you. Your
problem is that you need to steer packets from that public, ISP assigned ip
address to your internal, private IIS address. Steering pacquets is what a
router does. Look up RRAS and NAT in your W2K server help files.
