Archived from groups: microsoft>public>inetserver>iis (more info?)
I have written the following code for a test website called TryDefault.htm:

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>The Company Site</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><H1>Welcome to the Company's Website</H1><HR>
This Site is Under Construction!
</BODY></HTML>

The site is stored at: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TryWeb\TryDefault.htm. The IP address assigned to this site is: 69.106.1.148, and the subnet mask is ok.
I am unable to view this site from a remote machine. But on the local server that will host the site, I can browse the site only by using the following IP extension: http://69.106.1.148/TryDefault.htm. Trying to use: http://69.106.1.148 only both on the local or the remote machine gives the error message: "You are not authorized to view this page." Could it be the security setting?

I can't figure out why I'm unable to view the site using the assigned IP address on the network. Please help!

You cannot view the website from another machine, because port 80 is closed
somewhere, or?

You have not changed the default document, right? You are asked to
authenticate when accessing <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://69.106.1.148" target="_blank">http://69.106.1.148</a> on the local machine,
because that IP is probably not considered to be local. Look in the right
bottom of Internet Explorer, what zone does it say that you are in?

Your problem seems to be a firewall somewhere that blocks access to port 80.

Kristofer:

From the local machine, it simply says "You are not authorized to see this site" until I include /TryDefault.htm to the IP 69.106.1.148. If it is a firewall problem, got any idea how to get around it?

Thanks
Ken

How to get around the firewall? Uhm...open port 80?

I'm sorry, i cannot give you any other information, because i do not know
what firewall it is, and how the network look like. All i can say is that i
cannot get a connection to that IP on port 80.

But i'm not sure that i have understood the problem. In your first post, you
said

"I am unable to view this site from a remote machine".

But you also said:

Trying to use: <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://69.106.1.148" target="_blank">http://69.106.1.148</a> only both on the local or the remote
machine gives the error message: "You are not authorized to view this page."


Is the problem:

1 ) You cannot view the site, meaning that you cannot connect to the server
(you get a 404 error)?
-or-
2 ) You can get to the website, but you are asked authenticate?

If you get to the webserver, the firewall is okay. If you cannot get to the
webserver, something is wrong, and it is not IIS.
If you are asked to authenticate, then you need to make sure that you have
enabled Anonymous Access, and that NTFS security on the files are okay. You
might also want to see this webpage to understand why you are asked to type
your username and password in IE.

"Internet Explorer May Prompt You for a Password"

Sorry. I'm simply unable to access the site on a remote machine. The error message is "You are not authorized to view ths page." On the server itself, I can view the site only when I add the /TryDefault.htm to the IP address. Otherwise the error message is the same as in the case of a remote server.
Thanks anyway.

Thanks Kristofer. I can see the Default.htm file now on the hosting server. However, I'm still unable able to view the Default.htm file on a remote machine. The error massage is: "The page cannot be displayed." I don't know if it has to do with security on IIS v6. I''m on Windows Server 2003. Thanks again for your assistance.

Ken
