IIS and public viewing

[ScottCybak]

Hi all,

I've managed to get IIS working for our intranet, but i'm curious if it's possible to open this up to the web for viewing also?

I don't want to point a DNS at our domain, just somehow get it so people can punch in my IP and view my site..

How do i configure this, and how do people connect to it?

Thanks in advance!! TIA Scott Cybak

First you would need a IP address on the Internet outside of your Intranet. After this, as long as you are running a web server, people will be able to punch in that machines IP and see the site. I don't recommend this because your security level goes WAY down when you have a machine on both a Internal Network and the Internet. If you want to get real complicated you can setup a DMZ box and route through it to provide some more security, but that take more resources than I believe you would be willing to use.

Thats how ya do it..

Dave,

Thanks for your reply

Question 2 - i don't care if the intranet can view it, only the internet.. temporarily.

I have an IP address located on my websites host, could i somehow use that to bounce traffic over?

Thanks again. Scott Cybak
