MIME Types

Hello,

Nothing seems to be wrong with IIS if you can access the website from the
local machine. My guess is that your ISP blocks port 80, so when you try
to access the website, you cannot reach it.

Another possibility is that DNS is not correct configured. Have you tried
to access the website by using the external IP?
