    Hi All

    Dunno if this is the place for this but as im running iis on xp pro i thought it would be. I have purchased a domain only and want to host my own site via iis with a static ip. I have set everything up and the company i bought the domain from has done all dns poining to my ip. However i get page cannot be displayed errors even when i do localhost or my non public ip. Any ideas?

    Is there a host header in your website in IIS? It should be www.yourdomain.com or whatever.

    Have you forwarded port 80 on your firewall? Is there a software firewall on the XP PC?

    Questions questions! :biggrin
