I have Windows 2012 Server x64 with SQL Server 2012.
I'm also using IIS 8 as a web server on the same machine.
I've installed ArcGIS for Server 10.1 SP1 and ArcSDE 10.1 both on the
same server.I've also installed the Web Adapter 10.1 SP1.
I configured the Web Adapter's GIS Server URL to MyServer:6080
The Web Adapter returned:
Status: The following GIS servers are registered to your Web Adaptor
MyServer
The firewall on the server is currently off.
Port 80 on the router has been forwarded.
I want to be able to access the rest services off network via
External IP/arcgis/rest/services
Do I need to set certain settings in IIS for the Web Adapater?

It looks like your Web-Adaptor may be resolving only to your machines local DNS name, in your example case 'MyServer' versus what name/ip you would potentially connect to it as from another machine.
So in this case you need to make sure both your points can resolve to name/ip so that you can get to them via the URL-ReWriting that the Web-Adaptor does to access to back end port.
