Is there any reason that a Mozilla-based browser would be able to access my web server (remotely), but not an IE browser (remotely), when an IE browser (locally) works?

It seems silly to me. If I use IE and go

or

They both work with IE. As soon as someone on the internet with IE goes


It loads the title of the website and then goes to the "Cannot find server" page straight away. Mozilla browser apparently works though.

httpd.conf is configured to listen on my internet IP address (multi-homed PC), running the website on port 8090.

The access log for the IE access is just this:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [28/Oct/2002:20:31:50 +1100] "GET /site/template/core.css HTTP/1.1" 200 793
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [28/Oct/2002:20:31:50 +1100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 16160

and that's it - it should follow that with requests for images and stuff. Can anyone help? [auto] MCSE NT4/W2K
