Does anyone have some insight on how to publish a web service to public a webpage not just an ip address on the same network.
Let me give you some background, I am trying to develop a standalone Application that will include a web service that will publish a front panel image to a web site. I have the web service made and will include the NI example it was made from in the attachments. What I want is to be able to see it outside my network. I have a dns address and my router is configured to forward from a certain ip address, for the purposes of this discussion lets call that address 127.10.10.5, to the domain Name. I don't know if it is possible to do this native to LabVIEW but i am hopping it is.
Does anyone know that the next step?

Markhrussell,
I wanted to clarify that I understood your application correctly before I gave you what I would believe are the next steps. From my understanding, you are trying to publish the front panel of a VI to a currently existing website. You would like to be able to access this website outside of the local network. Is this correct?
As a follow-up question, on this website do you want just an image of the front panel on the website or do you want the functionality of front panel. The reason I ask is maybe you would like to look into using a remote front panel to get the functionality of the device.
As a good starting point, I would look at the following website:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/lvhowto/publishing_vi_front_panels/
This website has valuable links to point you to the correct place based on your specific application and needs.
Also there is a knowledge based article on the matter of connecting to a remote front panel using a web server and a tutorial which explains a little bit more about this process. Basically you would create a remote front panel and then embed that remote front panel to a webpage.

I hope that gives you good next steps to take and if you could tell me a bit more about exact parameters of the application; I can maybe give you more specific next steps.
