can't access xp pro web server from internet

[Guest]

I recently set up a 2000 server web server at my workplace, which was behind
a linksys router. It took about 15 minutes & i could access it from the
internet.

I did the same thing on my xp pro computer at home, which is also behind a
linksys router & uses the same ISP (cincy bell zoomtown dsl).

But even though the setup was identical to 2000 server, i cannot access this
site from the internet, even if i bypass the linksys router & plug dsl
straight into the pc.

I know zoomtown doesn't block port 80, otherwise the site at my workplace
wouldn't work.
I set up forwarding at home just like at work - port 80 forwarded to
192.168.1.100 (my home computer's address).

The only clue so far was when i switched to a different webserver program &
it showed the error "501 not implemented". I can't find out much about this
error that helps troubleshoot.

I even copied my workplace website page to my home computer, thinking maybe
there's something wrong with my html code with my home site, but still can't
access my workplace site at home either.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ken,

Do a "netstat -an" on your home computer. Does it show you listening on port
80?

If it does, then the best thing for you to do would be to get a second computer,
and connect it to the Linksys LAN, and try from there. If that doesn't work,
then diagnose from there.
