  Windows File & Printer Sharing over the Internet using Dynamic DNS Reply Contact The domain livewire.getmyip.com is a domain configured for dynamic DNS and is working properly. How do I setup IIS7 so that when I go to http://livewire.getmyip.com it will prompt the windows authentication and then I can open & save files and add printers in the public folder in my computer. Just like when you go click on "Network" in the start menu and click on a computer in your LAN. Under the Network and Sharing Center I currently have Network Discovery on, file sharing on, public folder sharing on (password required), printer sharing on(password required), password protected sharing on, and media sharing on. I currently have IIS7 installed and when I go to http://localhost it shows the IIS7 start page. It does not show the start page when trying to go through the domain livewire.getmyip.com. I have the proper router port forwarding configurations in place. I tried simply using the file protocol (file://livewire.getmyip.com) but that gives me an error and when I use Windows Diagnostic it just says that the host is not properly configured. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit. What do I need to do in order to get the File & Printer Sharing to work, just as it does in a LAN, over the internet using a domain name.
