I am unable to connect to server from an external machine (I am able to telnet to the server, ftp, and ping the server successfully) but when I do a port scan from outside I still cant see http running on port 80. On the host machine I am able to open a browser and connect utilizing the alias' http://localhost, http://www, http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 (ip addy) and a number of other methods Is there something I am missing that is preventing me from connecting to port 80 from external machine? (I have tried via IP, name, and other methods) When placing the service on port 8080 I am able to connect from externally. Any help is greatly appreciated. . .thanks :) Jeff
