Some ISPs do block TCP Port 80 which IIS uses... You can change IIS to use a
different port, ie. TCP Port 8080 for example. You still need to forward TCP
Port 8080 (if that is what you change IIS to) though...
Look at this reply, from awhile back, to a similar problem by Bill Sanderson
(MS-MVP) for help...
***************************
Right-click My Computer.
Manage,
expand Services and Applications,
expand Internet Information Service
expand web sites
right-click default web site, choose properties
You'll spot the TCP Port (80) in the upper panel.
You have to choose a substitute. 8080 is one choice made for proxy servers.
One popular brand of routers uses this address for remote html admin, if you
enable that feature--so 8081 may be a better choice if you might have such a
hardware router in place.
At any rate, pick a port--restart IIS.
