Make IIS 5.1 host Public Sites

[agesone]

Hi, I am trying to enable my home pc to serve as a web host, so it can
host my site i have on IIS 5.1 (win xp pro sp2)

My router is linksys, and I have already:
1. Taken out the port 80 block
2. Disabled DHCP
3. Forwarded ports TCP 0-10000 to 192.168.1.107 (local pc to IIS host)

I have enabled windows firewall port 80 as an exception and port 81.
In IIS i made host header name:
192.168.1.107 / Port 80 / Host Header Name blank
Public IP / Port 80 / Host Header Name blank
192.168.1.107 / Port 443 / Host Header Name blank

Still can't access the computer through the Public IP, what else do I
have to do???
I want to goto any browser in the world and be able to type in
http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx (my public ip)

Please help me!?

Aside from the security implications (I hope you don't have anything on that
laptop you care about) and the fact that I think you'll run into problems
with the 5-connection limit, the only other thing I can think of is that
your ISP blocks that traffic. I presume you can access http://192.168.1.107
just fine from your local network.
