iis 7 0

Howdy- I host my own very simple personal web page. After installing Vista, I managed to figure out how to find, download, and install IIS- this time version 7. I setup my IIS to the best of my ability, changing 3 variables: I bound the page to IP 192.168.1.100, where the web page is stored. Secondly, I directed the server to Drive I:/GradyGroup-again where the web page is stored. And third, I made sure that index.htm was in the default document list.
When selecting the View Sites tab I get the following report: "Default web site is started with binding 192.168.1.100:80 (HTTP) with I:/GradyGroup."
This looks correct to me- but the web page is not found when attempting to acces it from the INternet.
Ideas?

I had the same problem. It turned out that the built in firewall in Vista is a little stronger than XP's. Go to the Control Panel, then Firewall. I added an exception by port 80 on the Firewall at this point. Close out of everything and it should now be broadcasting to the internet.

Thanks, Luke- that solved the problem. I assumed, silly me, that when I installed IIS that Port 80 would become unblocked!

I have been serving my own small web page, using Windows XP and IIS 5.0. I downloaded and installed the new Vista on a separate parititon. Then I found IIS 7.0 and installed it. When setting up my web page, I changed 2 items: the location of the index.htm file to I:/GradyGroup-- and I bound the page to 192.168.1.100.
When I select the view Sites tab, I receive the following report: "Default web site is started with binding 192.168.1.100:80 (HTTP) with path I:/GradyGroup." But, when attempting to access the web page from the Internet, I get a page not found error message. Since I am able to run the web page from the adjacent Windows XP partition, I believe it is sdafe to assume that this is not a network issue.
Ideas?
Thanks

SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POST- I received an error message that the first message did not go through- it obviously did, however!!

Its a bug. Look through the newgroups and you see them everywhere. Don't worry about it.
