IIS 6.0 only internally viewable. External viewers can't a..

I have IIS 6.0 running ASP.NET 2.0 and Framework 2.0. (Windows 2003
Server SP2)

Server is located behind the firewall. (i.e. 10.0.0.10)

Router is 10.0.0.1

Port forward has been set to forward port 80 of 10.0.0.10 to 10.0.0.1
when requested. I have tried other port addresses such as 8080, 8888,
7780,7743 ... etc... but it hasnt work with IIS 6.0/MS Win 2003 Server.

I have other webserver running under linux which i use port forward
(i.e. port 8080, 8888, 7780, 7743) and works well.

I can only narrow it down to the Windows 2003 server.

I do not run DNS on Windows 2003 server. (There is no need as
mydomain.com provides a dns for my website)

From an internal PC, I can view the webpage on the server. i.e.
http://10.0.0.10 works flawlessly.

However, when I use www.domain.com, it just sits there and doesnt work.
I have pointed www.domain.com to the correct external IP address.

I can use www.domain.com:XXXX to view my linux www server....etc.

Is there a permission setting in IIS 6.0 that I need to modify? ( I
haven't found any online that is similar)

Does the Windows 2003 Server rejects external request automatically?

BTW: My RDP (via port forwarding) works fine to the Windows 2003 server,
even from an external IP address.

I have checked that the anonymous logon is allowed.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Maybe try adding "domain.com" as host headers.
