  Trouble starting up my personal webserver Reply Contact  I am new to the whole webserver setup so I appologize up front for my lack of knowledge. I'm trying to teach myself how to do this just for the fun of it. So here is my problem I have run into.  I have a Windows 2008 Server running my DNS and IIS. I have opened port 80 on the server and I have also Forwarded Port 80 on my Linksys router. All services are running without any warnings. When I enter in the FQDN the homepage comes up no problem. But when I enter in Localhost or 127.0.0.1 I get a "HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found." I can ping the FQDN and 127.0.0.1 and they are both active.   If I try to connect to the FQDN from another computer on the network I get page cannot be displayed. I have tried to do as much research as possible but can't find an answer. Can someone assist me with this?  Thanks in advance
