Re: Setting Up an IIS Server

[Matthew Woodward]

Are you going to be running this from your house or from an office?� Main thing there is to make sure it's routable to the outside world.� If you're running it from your house and have a typical cable/dsl firewall router, you can get in there and set up port forwarding for port 80 so when someone hits your cable/dsl public IP address, they get sent to the right machine.� If you're running it from your office you'll want to get in touch with your network team to see what they suggest and get assistance setting it up. As for the machine itself, if it's running fine from http://localhost/ with *no port number* for CF stuff, then you're all set.� However, if you're running the developer edition of CF it's limited to 2 outside connections, so be aware of that. Lastly, if you're running Windows XP Pro be aware that it has a connection limit of 10 users, so if you're going to have more than 10 people hitting the box at once, it's going to reject whoever gets there after number 10.
