I can ping it at the sever and it brings it right up, but know one eles can ping it from thier network. CAN ANY ONE HELP....... thanks Bill

Please try to disable all your security softwares (antivirus, firewall ..) and check if all is okay or not. If once done all is okay, please identify which security software is causing your problem. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

I have try to take down all fire wall just so everyone could see me always get the message ipnat is running some program, and it will not allow me to take down the wall..................I have been trying to get to the NAT/BASIC firewall. I I can go to ip routing and choose NAT/BASIC firewall, I dont see any connections to configure........... not sure why I dont see any connections there...that may be the problem, what do you think? thanks Bill

Could you please describe the architecture that you are using? For the firewalls, please make sure that you are allowing incoming http traffic (port 80 by default) and ICMP traffic to your web server. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Ping is not a good tool to use to test connectivity on the Internet and hasn't been for a long, long time since it leaves one open to denial of service attacks and a whole lot of Internet sites simply don't allow ICMP traffic (which PING uses) through their firewalls. Open a browser to a microsoft.com web site for example and then try to ping the same site. 2. Have you checked with your ISP? Chances are good that Cableone don't allow home users to run servers and are blocking inbound port 80. Paul Adare MVP - Identity Lifecycle Manager http://www.identit.ca

Hi Paul Im checking with cable one now just to make sure they are not blocking inbound 80. It would be nice it that was it.....

Hi again Paul they are not blocking either way.... Im at my business in town

I was wondering does icmp have its own port........................ Im checking thanks Bill

ICMP does not have its own ports. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hi again......I have check port 80 it looks fine Im not sure where to check ICMP

For Windows Firewall, you can refer to this article. Please try to check if you are able to access your server internally (from the local network). If you are not able to access, it should be a problem with IIS (if you are using it) or a security software on your server that is blocking incoming http traffic. If you found that it is a IIS problem, please post your issue here. If all is okay then try access it through internet. If there is a problem, it should be something wrong with routers/firewalls. Ping requests / replies can be used to check that all is okay with your route tables (Once you check that your server is reachable, it is recommanded to disable the use of ICMP on your server). Also, make sure that reverse NAT is correctly configured (make sure that http traffic for your public IP address is forwarded to the web server) This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hi Again.......................yes I can connect internal network with no problem.......... still have not found the problem GeeeeeeZZ

wow what an issue....Paul I can come in on the internal side with no problems........ just no one can see me from the web. I went in and turn NAT off and still could not be seen.... my sever is coming from the cable one mod. hard wired to the server nothing in between. I must really be missing something................... SIMPLE.........

Hey Paul did run ipconfig/all and yes I can see all my numbers, Im not sure how to post... but one thing I did notice was my NETBIOS over TCPIP is Disable....................... would that make a differents... thanks Bill
