I can get to the computer using remote desktop pointing to the dns entry, so I know that is working. &nbsp;I can also successfully ping it. &nbsp;I added http web services to the firewall. &nbsp;Is there a more specific way to do this?

I have a dyndns account and use port forwarding on my router to map the port for remote desktop to my vm at home. &nbsp;This works well. &nbsp;I am trying to setup a small webserver. &nbsp;It works on the home network. &nbsp;I added forwarding of port 80 and added web services to the firewall. &nbsp;I can ping the address in a command prompt, but when I try with a browser, I get no response. &nbsp;It just spins.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.
