Archived from groups: microsoft>public>inetserver>iis (more info?)
I am new to IIS and I am trying to implement it up on a computer running
WinXP in a small workgroup.



I know IIS is running and my web pages are ok because the following web
address executes when entered from a browser on the same computer:



http://localhost/MyWebAp/MyWebPage.htm



However, when I try accessing those pages from another computer in my
workgroup, the following address does not work (assuming IIS is running on a
computer called "MyComputer":



http://MyComputer/MyWebAp/MyWebPage.htm ?



Is this the right syntax? Why isn't this working?

Are there any name resolution services running, such as DNS? If not, you'll
have to us the IP address instead of the name or setup a hosts file that
maps IP addresses to names.

Hello,

Do you have a firewall enabled on the firewall that blocks port 80?

Kristofer,

Yes! The firewall, of course. I recently installed SP2 of WinXP which came
with a firewall, which I enabled.

I have now set up my IIS to work on a different port, and set an exception
for that port.

I can now access IIS from anywhere in my workgroup by adding the port number
to the address.

I have also initiated service with a dynamic DNS service, so people outside
can access my website through redirection to my router using the port I set
my IIS to run on.

Internet access for my workgroup goes through a router so I have programmed
port forwarding on my router, routing all 7203 calls to the computer hosting
IIS.

Thanks for your valuable insight!

Tony
