Uh, yeah. I'm trying to connect to my webserver and news server from my
work computer at my office. I figured I wouldn't need to mention that,
but I guess I do.
So to be more clear, from OUTSIDE my firewall, I cannot connect to my
webserver. Instead of the firewall forwarding the requests to the
appropriate server, the firewall's web server is what I'm getting.
Thanks,
Michael

I think you need to be outside your firewall to test this properly.
