Hi, wondering how to set up a Domain Name Server on Windows Server 2008 to work and function as a Domain name generator, creator, register and host like the DNS service on GoDaddy.com. I know there has to be a way to do it because they are out there and it has been done, so how would I go about doing this? Can I use win2k8 or do I need a totally different OS? If I need a different OS can anyone specify how to do this? Not looking for any answers telling me I can't do this myself. If that's your answer then best keep it to yourself and don't post just to spam the forum with incorrect information. Unless you can explain it extremely well... in great detail why I cannont do this myself. And detail means a good novel size post. Thanks to anyone who can help. :) Have a great day everyone.

I have been doing some troubleshooting and decided to reset my routers. Now I am able to view my website through my 2wire router which I could not before. But now when I ask someone to type in my external IP address or my computer's name into their browser as http://win-o8axvv6thsm or http://216.197.135.*** and they cannot get the page. So I am guessing my 2wire firewall settings are still a bit out of whack. Will try to fix that, any other ideas you have if I cannot fix it would be helpful. Thanks

Hi, I'm new to IIS servers and most servers. I have Windwows 2008 installed and am trying to set up a IIS host. I can view the webpage fine in my local network computers but my friends cannot access the web pages from outside my network. I have gotten them to try all the possible IP addresses i can come up with. I am behind two routers, a 2wire 2700HGV-B, and a linksys WRT160Nv1. The linksys hooks to the 2wire. The server computer hooks to the linksys via wireless as my computer has a ethernet adapter which server 2008 does not seem to support the drivers for. The server computer linksys IP is 192.168.1.102 (when I type this on my home network computers the page comes up, also it works with the default 127.0.0.1 and my server computer name.) My 2wire external IP is 216.197.135.*** My IP address rareley changes but I think it is dynamic. My ISP does not block port 80 inbound and I have my: single port forewarding set as: External Port---Internal Port---Protocol---To IP Address---Enabled -----80-----------------80------------TCP-----192.168.1.102---checked -----443---------------443------------TCP-----192.168.1.102---checked -----4125-------------4125------------TCP-----192.168.1.102---checked port range forewarding: Start -End Port---Protocol---To IP Address---Enabled --80----------80--------TCP------192.168.1.102---checked If you can help feel free to ask for more info.
