I have installed IIS and followed instructions in article 284931 posted on
the Microsoft Web Site. I checked and found I did install the latest
version. I still can't connect to my home computer via the Internet. Any
suggestions as to how I can start debugging this situation.

You will need to tell us how the server is connected to the Internet, as
well as any firewall details.
 
As "BobC" noted - you have provided insufficient information. For example,
what addressing scheme (URL) are you trying? Outside of a server based
network IIS is usually installed as an "intranet" in which case you cannot
access via the internet - the "site" would be accessed as a "web
file/folder" following connection to the computer.
 
OK guys here we go. I hope this makes sense.

I connect to the Internet using DSL.
The DSL Modem is connected to a router in my home. One output goes to my PC
through the Ethernet Port.
I have a static IP address
My Firewall is on
Under the "Exceptions" tab for the firewall EVERYTHING is checked
Under the "Advanced" tab for the Local Area Connection "HTTP" is the only
thing checked.
IIS works fine when I access my main computer (the one with IIS installed)
from my laptop (without IIS).
When I access through the "Intranet" the URL I use is http://main computer
ip address/tsweb
I was asked if I wanted to install active x and I replied Yes
I then get the next page I enter the requested info and it works fine.
When I try from the Internet, I don't connect to anything.
From the Internet I use http://my static ip address/tsweb

Hope this helps

You need to port forward port 80 (or the port your iis server is running
on) in your router to your server. The static ip address is being assigned
to your router.
