Okay,

My head hurts! I am getting ready to set up a new 2003 Small Business Server Premium Edtion. In an effort to teach myself web serving basics I am working with my current NT server and a MAC OS X machine to test serve a few simple web pages. I have Verizon DSL (dynamic IP, I use NO-IP tool to update DNS) running through a Linksys Firewall Router. I have IP forwarding set to the MAC running OS X and Apache. Internally when enter into the browser, Viola! Web Page is there. If I type in (the dynamic IP) of Verizon... nothing! The router is supposedly set up to port forward port 80 requests to the Mac but nada. I had a NetGear router and took it back because I thought it was bad. Do I need two NIC's in the web server? I am pretty savvy and had the Mac doing this sometime back when it had two NIC's in it and one of them attached to the DSL modem, the other using an internal series of IP's. I have also tried running Xitami on the NT server but same problem. I do have WinProxy running on the NT server but its HTTP and FTP ports are disabled so as not interfere with the web requests inbound. I just use it for mail filtering.
I called Verizon to see if they port block. They don't. Just want to publish two or three pages to the web. I figure once I get this licked I can move onto SBS 2003. STUMPED IN MASSACHUSETTS.
 
did you make sure that the port 80 was being forward to 90.0.0.21?

For your server, You really need only one network card for it to work. What Dynamic Language are you using for the webpage?
 
Yup, I port forwarded, still no luck. In fact I made an assumption about Verizon blocking port 80 inbound and forwarded some other ports and tried using a specific port on the URL call. Still no luck. This is very strange as it should work and I have tried everything possible. Well not everything since I haven't got it to work yet!!!!!!!
