My page is up and running people can visit and download but if i try to view my page internet explorer says it cant be displayed, same with firefox. But it does work if i use my internal isp address. Is there something i need to do to veiw my own external address?
Thanks

Adam

or if you want to, you could always use a proxy to view it, just to make sure the links are really working. That's what I do

or you can add your ip to your name on the host file
like i do, it works fine...

Yep the 'hosts' trick.

For Windows 9x: C:\WINDOWS\hosts (may not exist, copy from hosts.sam)

For Windows 2k/XP: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\drivers\etc\hosts

insert an entry like this:

<your LAN IP> <your domainname without http://>
