Are you sure your site is up and running? What happens if you attempt to
use localhost to access your site?
Yes, it runs fine using localhost.
However, in the meantime I have resolved the problem. If someone else has a
similar problem, read this ...
http://www.portforward.com/english/r...834GT/HTTP.htm
I'm still not exactly sure what the problem was, but what I did was delete
the existing firewall rule (which I created months ago) that allows HTTP
requests, and tried to re-create the same rule. But it wouldn't let me
because it said a rule for opening port 80 already existed !! So I found
the other existing rule and enabled that, and it worked.
Why my existing rule was allowed to be created (months ago mind you) when a
port 80 rule already existed ... I don't understand.
Anyway, it works now, so I'm happy (but still confused).
