Hi All I'm running a home webserver via IIS.
Now I am using a free domain name from DynDns. Now my account works fine and the domain name is correctly mapped to my routers external IP address(I used nslookup to verify that)
Now I can access my webserver from any computer in the LAN by using the webservers local IP: 10.0.0.253. But when I use the domain name (evolutionof4.dyndns.org), I get a connection timeout. Now on my router, I did forward port 80 for my webserver to my local IP, and I enabled Dynamic DNS on my router, using dyndns.org and the correct username and password. I even use the automatic ip dns updater provided by DynDns.
I also added port rules for port 80 on Windows firewall...
Why can't I access my webserver externally?
IIS site binding settings: http 80 10.0.0.253. These are the only fields I filled in. There is one other field I left blank, which is the hostname, but even completing it with my dyndns hostname does not work. Also tried using my external IP address in place of local ip address in these settings, but no luck.
Thank you!
