[thelist] How do i set up IIS7.0 with a router?

[Ben Joyce]

I've not used IIS7 myself.. though I have someexperience of IIS6 - I
can't imagine it has changed much.

>From what I can remember in the properties of "Default Web Site" (if
that is the one you're using) you will need to modify the settings on
the "Website" tab and add your host header and external IP.  That
might be all you need to do.

It is also worth checking your IIS logs to see if there is any
activity from your requests made via http://www.kwebd.co.uk

Can't help with any book suggestions I'm afraid; all you need to know
about IIS Admin can be found on the web :)  Check out
http://www.iisadmin.co.uk/
