Can't see website running on IIS 6 & Win 2003 Web Server

Hi Folks

I wonder if anyone can help me with a problems I'm having. I've
recntly moved from a shared hosting environment to a dedicated server
running win 2003 web server R2 with IIS 6.

Now I've been practicing setting up websites on the same
confirguration at the office with server runing under virtual PC.
Everything seems to be fine and I can connect to newly created
websites created in VS 2005 and manually copied to the new website
after ASP.NET 2.0 has been installed and added to the allowed web
server extensions. (I do have problems publishing the website through
VS but I can live with that at the moment)

I can see the website locally, url http://localhost/thesite , but not
from the net. My DNS is setup properly I think, I can ping my site
using the url so it seems to me that it is a case of security being
too tight.

The test website itself is very basic, just a default.htm page
containing

<html>
<body>
Successful Test
</body>
</html>

Anonymous access is enabled, IUSR_computername has been given read
access, no web service extensions have been allowed access, and IP is
All Unassigned.

I've read and re-read many documents which all give the same simple
steps to create a website but haven't found anyting that has helped so
far.

Everything is sitting behind a cisco 501 firewall which I know little
about, I'm thinking that's what I need to look at?? I'm a developer
not a network guy so there are gaping holes in my experience so any
hints that anyone can throw my way will be gratefully received.


TIA

Steve
