Archived from groups: microsoft>public>inetserver>iis (more info?)

I have a PC which has Windows XP Pro SP2 & IIS 5.1, and a website on
it. on locally everything works perfect.

but when I try to access this website form another computer (2003
server) which is also in the LAN, I get the "page cannot be displayed
message"

I try to reverse the action, and set up a website on the 2003 server,
my XP Pro machine access that website..

Is this problem relates to XP Pro & IIS 5.1, in which also there is a
one website restriction?

Note : as far as I checked there isn't a DNS or routing problem..

Thanks

I found it Smile it's about the XP built in firewall setting, I just turn
it OFF !

Thanks for the answer, you can also turn the firewall on & create an
exception in firewall settings to open port 80.

XP SP2 includes Windows Firewall - did you remember to include an exception
for port 80?
