<div>
Try the Following.<br />
<br />
Make sure in IIS you &nbsp;have specified port 443 under site properties<br />
if using windows firewall or any other make sure 443 is open for Server<br />
try to do a Telnet from outside, if you can connect to HTTPS port.<br />
in command do following<br />
telnet &lt;Server IP/Domain&gt; 443<br />
<br />
if you see a blank screen that means 443 is open to public then your network settings are good, but if you dont see a blank screen then your port is not opening/exposing to the public.

<div>
I telnet from the outside and a blank screen comes up.<br />
The IIS property setting are specified for port 443.<br />
<br />
How can I tell if the public IP is mapped to the internal IP?

Hello,<br />
<br />
We have a website using verisign using SSL on IIS 6.0 with firewall off. I am unable to reach the site from the outside (<a href="HTTPS://" rel="ugc nofollow">HTTPS://</a>) but I can reach it from the inside using <a href="HTTPS://" rel="ugc nofollow">HTTPS://</a><br />
<br />
I ran a port scan from the outside and it is listening on Port 443.<br />
<br />
Any reason why I cant reach the site from the outside based on this basic information?

SSL IIS 6.0 - Cannot reach site from the outside

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
