So i set up IIS fine and have it running on my comp with no problems. It's running my asp page with no problems but how do i access this site via the internet from a diff comp.??

i've tried http://x.x.x.x (being my IP) and still it wont work. I went into the IIS management tools and made sure my IP is in there for web sites, but still nothing. Anybody with experience in this that can assist me would be great.

My eyes hurt from searching through google and google groups for a solution.

could be a number of things, but the http://your-ip is the correct way to do it.

If you are getting a "page not found" error it could be:
- the windows firewall blocks IIS by default I think.
- you didn't set the correct security settings for your web-site
- you mixed up internal and external IP (if you have a router set-up f.ex.)

If you are getting any other kind of error it's more likely you set up your default website and/or default page wrong, but that's not very likely.
(have seen installs of IIS that ignored requests for .asp and .aspx files tho... )

Also...

1. Verify that your site is set to use that ip (or any)
2. like ltl said, that it's a externally routable ip (not 192.168.x.x etc)

- no router so no need for the 192.168.x.x address.


I thought xp firewall was off... will have to check with it off and see.
