Default website only viewable from server itself

Hi,

We have enabled iis on a w2003 member server (it is also a wsus3 server).

When we enter the server's IP in a web browser at the server the default
web page displays correctly.

However if we do the same from a workstation *at the same subnet* the
browser times out without being able to find the page.

From the workstation we can ping both the server's ip and its name so
communication is ok. No firewall.

How do we proceed to troubleshoot this....?

thanks for tips

jake

Hi,

try following command

telnet <serverIP> 80

See what comes up, if you get error "couldnt find host" then deffinately its
network issue. and if nothing comes up except blank screen then its able to
connect to the web server on port 80.
