Can't access webpage remotely but can browse it locally on webserver?

Double-check your Permissions as well.

Go to IIS Manager > Web Sites > Default Web Site.

Right-Click Exeadmin. Select Properties and then Directory Security. Click Edit... under IP address and domain name restrictions. Make sure the 'Exception Box' is empty, and Granted Access is checked.

Repeat for Echange, Exchweb, Public, and Oma.

did you open port 80  from firewall ??
if you dont open port 80 from firewall and if you dont forward port 80  from firewall to webservcer

you would not be able to view website from outside

I missed a bit of troubleshooting that I should have done before jumping to my answer!

What webpage are you trying to access? If you are talking about accessing email and internal desktops externally, then my answer is probably correct.

Also, is this a new issue, or have you never been able to access it? If you haven't ever been able to, then 'fosiul01' probably is cloer to your actual issue than I am.

I am trying to access the default webpage index.htm   I can right click on Default website in iis manager and select browse and it works ok. also browsing localhost works.  When I try from my PCs browser it will not work.  Firewall allows traffic through.

Did you check the permissions, asccording to my second comment?

Ok

here is the scnerio

IIS server : its works fine in the server itself by typing localhost


Pc : which is same network in IIS server, you cant access the website from internet explorer ??


if the upper scnerio is right then

2 things

1. did you open port 80 in the IIS server itself
2. are you tryign to access webpage like this http://192.168.2.1/index.htm ??  ( IP of the server)

I am trying to access using ip of the server.  How do I ensure port 80 on the server is open?

no restrictions on IPs that can access the server

how do you ensure port 80 on the server is open :

telnet ip-of-the-server 80

if its connect that meant port 80 is open

port 80 is open

Gateway Timeout
The following error occurred:
[code=GATEWAY_TIMEOUT] A gateway timeout occurred. The server is unreachable. Retry the request.

can you tel me one thing

here , server and pc are they in Same network

or both are in different network ??

example, IIS server is in office and you are trying to access website from Home ??

Check the properties in IIS to make sure that it is accepting the name that you are inputting.

Go to IIS, find the web site, right click and go to properties.

On the first tab (Web SIte), the web site identification area will show an advanced button.
You must ensure that the port you are using (likely 80 and likely will work), is active.
Then you have to make sure that you have the url defined in the Host Header Value area.
Simply click ADD -> Select IP address(if this is the only web site on this server then, all unassigned should work) -> TCP Port (as stated above - this is likely 80)->Host Header Value - this will be what you are typing into your browser; ie: www.abc123.com.
Also, ensure that your external DNS entries are pointing to the IP address that is assigned to this server.

Good Luck.

Is re-installing iis an option?
