put your web pages in wwwroot, and ya got yourself a website, if you have a static dns just type it in, and should pull your home page up, and if its dynamic you can just type that in also, and your set or you can go to www.dyndns.org and follow directions to access your dynamic ip with a name (i.e. johnny.dyndns.org)

ok got into the router setup but didnt see anything helpful besides it had a configurator for ddns and i set that up with dyndns.org in conjunction with my router. but the fact still remains its closing port 80 to outside users (and i) so i need to open that up or allow access.... any help is appreciated.

Did you actually look anywhere before asking us?

I'd be careful using IIS to host a website through your broadband connection, especially if you're not familiar with it. IIS is notorious for security holes.

Drew.. if the manual has no info and neither does the site.. and you really can't find it in the settings then most likely its not there. Not all routers are setup to broadcast.. especially the really cheap ones.

I'd get a new router that either allows port forwarding or DMZ at the very least.

SMC Barricade is a good choice though Linksys and netgear have equivilant routers.
