    Hi Guys

    I'm very, very, very new to Windows 2003 Web Server, in fact new to web servers totally.

    My question is, why can't I see my web site???

    I have a website that is hosted on a server, I'll call it serverA, and have changed the "A" record to point to the same website now hosted on serverB

    This has worked, when I type in the domain name into my browser it goes to the new server. The trouble is I have set this website up on my new server and can only be viewed by using the domain name and port number.

    For instance:
    The webserver is 100.100.100.100, the domain name goes to 100.100.100.100, but the website is only viewable at 100.100.100.100:66

    How do I make my site viewable.

    I hope you can help.

    I assume you have port 80 forwarded through the router to your local IP and have allowed 24 to 36 hours for the A record to propigate to the World Wide DNS servers?

    You assumed wrong, I have now changed to port 80 and all is now working.

    Thanks for your answer it pointed me the the right direction to resolve this (simple) issue.
