I have set up a WEB access on my server.
I can access the server with Remote Desktop.
I can also access the WEBpage and it works fine, from the inside of the
network. BUT when I connect to the Web from the outside and fill in the
Server-name I get the response "can't find the computer name". Same answer
even when I try with the IP nr.
Using a Win2003 server, clients XP

Any ideas
