I have recently installed a Netgear broadband
modem/router which works fine. But Windows XP IIS
(Internet Information Service) that I use as a local
website testing server does not.

Any ideas how I might configure the router to run IIS?

(I have already asked Netgear, their reply didn't really
help)
 
If you're running IIS, you're running a web server. Web traffic is usually
transmitted by the http protocol. On your router, you'll want to use port
forwarding to forward any http traffic to the computer running IIS. If you
don't have protocol-specific port forwarding, you'll want to forward port 80
(this is IIS's default port. Use this unless you've changed it. In which
case, forward that port, obviously). Hope that helps.
