Testing Web Server

[NVETHIS]

I have IIS 6.0 setup on my W2K3 server and have installed remote web desktop connection. Is there a way I can "from inside my home network on my server" PRETEND to imitate myself from coming outside and test if my webserver and port forwarding is working ok? I have a dynu domain and the client is running on my server. I want to be able to go to my domain i.e. http://domain.dynu.com/tsweb and be able to log into my server.

Also, what type of security measures are good? This is my first attempt at a windows network. I usually run Linux, but thought I would give Server 2003 and Exchange 2003 a try. I know with linux you just setup a htaccess file and go from there, so if I access for instance http://domain.dynu.com/tsweb I will be prompted for a credentials box. Is there a way to do this with IIS 6? Thanks.

you won't be able to log on to your webserver with http://domain.dynu.com/tsweb because your router does not support IP loop back. however, you can just enter in the server ip eg. 192.168.0.1/tsweb etc.

make sure you have all the windows 2003 updates and run a good firewall (hardware).

in TSWEB, you will be prompted with a login screen like the one when you first login to your windows 2003 server.

I can log onto http://domain.dynu.com/tsweb I can do this from the server and from my laptop in my living room.

I should have been more clear, I actually have the domain http://nvethis.dynu.com I was using "domain" for example sake. If I check dynu.com my status is set to online however, when I ping it I get 100% loss??? Have any ideas?
