there must be a load of questions on this but I cant get it working. I have a asp.net app running locally hosted within iis (windows 8/ version 6.2) which I can browse locally. Example below, and it works without a problem.
http://localhost:1234
I'm trying to browse this site from a windows virtual machine using remote desktop and then launching the browser on the client machine. Unfortunately this display "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"
any ideas why I cant get through on a remote desktop? The client has internet access obviously and I can ping the other machine (both ways). Is there an IIS or firewall setting I can configure. The firewall on the dev box (i.e. the web server in this situation) has a firewall switched on. When I turn it off I still get the same error message.
My iis authenication settings are shown below (for my website, not for the 'Default Web Site'):
On the client machine, I'm using the following:
http://12.34.56.78:1234
Thanks,
James
Try using https: instead of http: and also to access the website from other PC, you need to enable your Anonymous Authentication. And you also need to Enable the Directory Browsing from IIS settings of website.
Can you ping the ip? Disable the firewall on both machines and try.
Let me know

I built an ASP.NET Web API. I run it locally from Visual Studio on IIS Express. I need to access this api from other device from another network, so I understand that it has to be hosted on the development machine on IIS, right? What I read is that:
I need to enable IIS Manager in the Control Panel (source) - DONE
Assign the IP of the dev machine to the localhost (source; source 2) - I don't see my site in the IIS Manager under Sites, only see Default Web Site. Why is that?
I assume the site needs to be hosted somehow on the dev machine, because I need to stop Visual Studio, therefore the IIS Express will be stopped and the site would not be accessible, even from localhost right?
My dev machine has a public static IP and I can access this Default Web Site successfully from outside.
You should consider your API in IIS just as any IIS App. i.e. a website.
It needs to have an IP (or a hostheader value)
Lets say api1.example.com binded in IIS with your IIS Application.
Your DNS must resolve this to the IIS machine IP.
then you can access it in that URL.
You can also just hit the machine IP running the IIS web server (on the port you added for the api - if its not :80)

I have developed an asp.net web site and deployed it to IIS on my local pc. I am trying to set up my pc to be a temporary web server, but no matter what I do, I cannot access it from another machine. I just get a "Server not responding message". I have turned off the firewall and MS Security Essentials, but it is making no difference. All the other tips I have seen do not work.
The trouble is there are so many ways to go wrong here.
You are currently running IIS and not just testing in Cassini?
You can go to IIS Manager and see Default Web Site?
You can do a Browse under Actions when Default Web Site is selected?
You can get to your machine from another machine?
On your machine, can you browse to http://your-machine/your site? (Not just http://localhost).
Ensure that remote access and http access is turned off on your firewall. Are the other machines you've tested within your domain?
I’m having difficulties setting up IIS7 to allow the default website to be accessible from machines other then mine. (This is for an .NET application that I’m developing).
IIS7 is installed and running on Windows 7 32bit, most of the configuration is default. I can access the default website (from my machine, where IIS is running) by pointing to localhost, my IP address, or my machine name. (I correctly get the default II7 welcome screen).
I am however unable to access the default welcome screen from other machines on the network. (I get connection timeout error messages).
Note that from these other machines, I can still:
Properly ping my IP Address.
I can also access the default (80) port, if I use something else for hosting (other then IIS).
(Which would indicate that this is not a firewall issue).
Suggestions ? Seems like I have to change some other II7 settings to do this, I’m just not sure what they are.
I’ve also tried editing permissions to give full access to the IIS_IUSRS and IUSR users, but that didn’t fix anything.
I am using Anonymous Authentication.
My Windows 7 firewall is turned off.
This IIS7 log files don't show anything about a remote machine hitting the server.
Ok I figure it out ... Turns out that even though the Windows 7 Action Center explicitly said that the Windows 7 firewall was turned off, it wasn't completly. Turning it off completly fixed the problem.
So, I made a cool demo which I want to show to my friends. But when I give them my IP-address (with the Development server's port and aspx page), it doesn't connect. How can I make it work?
They can't see the development server port.
It only serves pages to browser requests on the local computer.
You have to publish it to your IIS or to another machine that has IIS.
Deploy your site to your Local IIS server
The development server will only server connections from localhost. You need to deploy it to a real IIS server instance. Since you don't likely have Windows Server lying around, you can install IIS on any Professional edition of windows. Then your site will run on port 80, just like any other web site. You still may also need to forward that port on your home router.
Cassini (developers web server) has limitations and doesn't serve http requests from intranet/internet
You should deploy your site to IIS on your workstation (if your friends observe workstation via IP) or use Internet Asp.net Hosting
The development server can only be accessed by clients on the local box. You'll need to host your site on IIS to let them access it (assuming they're on your local network.) If you need to expose this on the internet, you'll have to get a hosting company to do that.
You are probably using the built-in webserver called cassini. By default, that webserver does only accept request from the localhost.
Set up a local IIS, and forward all necessary ports through the firewall
You should find a reliable and already configured webhost and host your site there. The first hit on google for "free asp.net host" was here.
I have website (setup on IIS) in a VPS setting. Since I dont have VS installed on the VPS, I would like to connect it from my dev machine and debug the source code.
From my dev machine, I opened up VS 2008 and did File -> Open Website -> specified the http address and clicked OK. I get the error
"Unable to open the website 'http://xxx..'. The Web server does not have the FrontPage Server extensions installed"
Is this the correct way of debugging a website hosted remotely?
I have IIS 6.0 on the VPS. When I go to Add Remove Progrsms -> Add remove Windows Components -> Application Server -> IIS, I was expecting to see FrontPage Server Extensions. I do not.
FrontPage extensions are for developing (or rather managing pages and adminstration of) a website, not debugging it.
You need to have a debugging host setup on the remote server and have the correct permissions and ports open between the server and development machine.
Here are a couple of articles with deatils of how to set this up.
