I had the same issue. More than likely it is your ISP. My ISP blocks 80 and 8080 so it
won't even reach my DSL modem.

Try this.
Go to your DSL/Cable Modem
Open some port like 5555 to your computer IP or router IP
If you have a router open the same port 5555 from your router to your computer IP
Configure IIS to accept requests on 5555
then from a browser type in the IP of your modem followed by :5555
i.e. 78.123.456.789:5555

The port you can use can be anything between 4095 and 32766. There are other programs
that use different ports so you may have to change it a couple of times to make sure. Only
one program can be bound to a port at a time.

You will have to read your manuals to figure out how to set these settings as they
are different for each piece of hardware from different manufacturers.

Cheers,
Dave
