Is this possibly due to the fact that most cable modems block port 80, since they don't want home users running web servers? At home, I set IIS to run on port 8080 and then specify it in the url.

You might try ticking the box in IE under connections > LAN Settings - Bypass proxy server for local addresses. How about via http://localhost does that do the same?

I can view html & CFM pages on the sites on my computer just fine as long as my cable modem is not hooked up to the internet. The moment I connect, I get an "internal server error 500" and I can no longer view any of the pages. I've changed the IP in the default site to be my real IP, but now I'm getting "Gateway Timeout - The following error occurred: A gateway timeout occurred. The server is unreachable." So where do I go from here to be able to access the pages when I'm hooked up to the net? I'm just starting with this. I'd like to know if I just need to change a setting or if this is some complicated mess... Thanks so much for you time - I really appreicate it!
