FYI, this is probably not the cause of your issues, but it will be the cause of someones issues soon:
On IIS7 on Windows Server 2008, http://localhost is treated differently to http://hostname, even though the IIS web site has no host headers. Recently I had a sharepoint site which returned 403 on http://localhost, and 200 OK on http://hostname. I believe that this functionality is new, because it tripped me up. Ive been pinging a few people to get the exact reason, though at the moment http://localhost is a no-no.

On a few occasions now we have setup external domains for sites and tested them, with everything functioning nicely. BUT then we go on-site for a Sharepoint demo, and try to access our SharePoint sites from other internal Corporate networks, then BAM we either get connection issues or other errors occurring when logged in, seems anonymous access functions nicely regardless, but when logged in strange things start to occur. It seems switching the web application to use Basic Authentication fixes these connection issues and the site seems more robust and can be used from more external networks. Although Basic Auth sends login and password in clear text . So it should be avoided, or apply a Certificate over your site to secure it further. Its nice that you can now use Forms Authentication and custom authentication stores with MOSS !!! Its a pitty that its tough to setup and is the non-default authentication/security configuration, good luck getting external SharePoint Hosting which will allow you to setup and use Custom Forms Authentication for your site though, you need to mess around in central admin to get it going, so its only an option if you do all the Server hosting and configuration yourself.

It looks like you're getting a 403 as a result of something on one of your pages - a webpart? or page field control. (or a web.config file error) Can you go to http://server and see if you get redirected to http://server/pages/default.aspx Also check the Sharepoint logs under - \12\logs.... (there is a 'log file' viewer under central admin to make life easier for you) Check (if you can) the IIS logs Create another site collection and see if you have the same erorr - basic team site (eliminates any non-std webparts) >From first impressions it doesn't look like an auth/routing/security issue at all. (all your other sites work no probs.)

They've not been too helpful on fixing this because I have already proved it works fine via my ADSL home connection. Although it times out a lot when submitting new items. Currently looking to rehost to a more SharePoint friendly hoster...any suggestions? Sorry I know off topic...

I had to create a new account and re-assign the services to use the newly created account and the problem went away. It worked for me and it might solve your problem. Good luck.
