EXCEPT: when I type my address in address bar it won't open the www site, it says (cannot find the server).
I have basically went by the book (IIS by microsoft) and I don't know what am I doing wrong.

This is probably the issue you are running into. Go to your router setup page and configure the port forwarding to head toward that IP. That should fix your problems. If not, we will move onto another solution. :tazz:
