Hi there,
Ok i think i have done what you suggested. I edited the bindings and set the
ip to my computers internal ip address set by the router, and the host to
kwebd.co.uk
When i click on it it goes to the right ip address, but it still doesn't
seem to be communicating with the IIS program. Maybe it is still to do with
the router? I will check it out. Is there a special name to give the
protocol in the port forwarding or just any old name will do?
I have still to check the logs in the iis. Need to try and find them first.
Thankyou so much for your help so far
kipper

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/
