Tried to access it using static IP address.eg http://218.240.75.35 (not actual address). have registered a name but don't know how to link it to IP address. Really don't know how to proceed. Have IIS installed. Have it running OK as it can see pages when i access http://localhost.

  Re: problems in hosting web siite Reply Contact Hi, If your site bind on an port other than 80, then you need to specify the port number.  It looks like: http://StaticIPAddress:2324. In this case, it is possible the server's firewall is rejecting the connection, you can run PortCheck to check for connectivity. Check IIS network connectivity with PortCheck v2.0 http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2008/01/23/Check-IIS-network-connectivity-with-PortCheck-v2.0.aspx Also, you can run WFetch to determine the problem: WFetch 1.4 http://www.iis.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=34&i=1307&g=6 Leo Tang Microsoft Online Community Support Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help.
