Port 80 not forwarded -- HELP

The firewall admin at my hosting provider says port 80 is being forwarded to my server's private IP (10.0.0.2), but I can't get through on that port.

Inside the firewall (in a virtual session hosted by Windows Terminal Services) I can confirm with a netstat -an command that the server is listening on port 80. And the browser connects successfully to the default web site via any of the following URLs:

http://10.0.0.2
http://10.0.0.2:80
http://127.0.0.1
http://127.0.0.1:80

Further, from the inside session, if I use the commands:
TELNET 10.0.0.2 80
or
TELNET 127.0.0.1 80

I get a connection, and issuing a subsequent GET retrieves what I think is an appropriate error message from the HTTP server:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
Date: Sat, 04 Oct 2003 20:26:41 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 87

<html><head><title>Error</title></head><body>The parameter is incorrect. </body>
</html>

Connection to host lost.


But from outside the firewall, I cannot connect to port 80 by any means.

For example:

C:>telnet nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn 80
Connecting To nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn...Could not open a connection to host on port 80 : Connect failed

And a;browsing to http:///nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn gets a "The page cannot be displayed .... Cannot find server" error.

What am I missing?

TIA
