Here is the deal:
I have 2 computers connected via switch.
Both computers can see(ping) each other.
One of the computers (computer A) is running IIS7. And hosts a website on port 80.
So from computer A you can access website by typing in browser http://localhost:80/website/Default.aspx.
Computer A' IP 192.168.0.2
The question is how to configure IIS to allow other computers on network see the website.
If I just type in browser on computer B http://192.168.0.2:80/website/Default.aspx it would not find anything.
Thanks!
Check to see if the windows firewall is enabled on the web server machine.

I am running XAMPP on my windows 10. and installed WordPress site. All working fine on my pc and other PCs in my network.
I just changed my router.
My site is working on my PC but not working on other PCs.
When i connect with WiFi, its working. If i connect with cat5 wire, its not working.
Check your IP-Addresses and network configuration (e.g.: Gateway). Port Forwarding may also be needed on the new router.
For a better answer I'd need more details. For example, can you ping the other PCs on the network? Are you able to connect to the internet?
You should also check your firewall.
I have a website hosted in IIS in my local PC.
I can access to my IIS from other computers in the network by typing in http://my_lan_IP. However, when I try to get access to a specific port (http://my_lan_IP:8888) in my local PC, it says the "The site can't be reached."
I disabled all my firewalls and even tried allowing the specific port through Windows Firewall, but it didn't work. Viewing my IIS hosted site on other machines on my network
Thanks so much for your help :)
FYI: I am using Windows 10. My goal is to connect to the locally hosted ASP.NET website from other machines on the network.
Your web server needs to be configured to serve HTTP on port 8888 "for that particular website", in order for a client to connect to that port.
By default, your website is served on port 80, which is omitted from normal addresses. All http web addresses, if not specifying a port, is actually running on port 80, or 8080.
Your windows firewall will not effect local connections you make to your own pc. Get it working on your own machine, and then worry about firewalls that block connections from other machines on the network.
I was able to solve the issue by configuring a host header for a website. Thank you all for your help :)

I have a dedicated virtual debian server running with my website, and now have a copy of that so that I can try some configurations by running it virtually on my own PC. It runs fine, but I'm unable to access the machine through http.
The problem is that my machine has a fixed ip, something like 194.247.x.x . My home network however has computers in the range of 192.168.1.x
Is it possible to not change anything in my virtual machine and still configure vmware networking so that I'm able to access the websites it's running?
The only way I can see this happening for you is to use NAT (Network Address Translation) between your home network and your VM.
To do this, you could use a free software based router - something like Vyatta (www.vyatta.org) - and create a VM with two NICs - one with an IP on your home network, and the other with an IP on the same network as your VM. You then configure NAT to translate your home IP to your web server IP and then you're done.
There's nothing 'de-facto' VMware that will allow you to do this (other than using vShield - which will do NAT'ing anyway)...
I have setup a website in my local pc (IIS). I can access the site with my computer using
"http://localhost:8088" and "http://myip:8088" but I can not access the site from another pc in network.
Anyone can tell me how can i do it??
If you PC is on a domain the you need to add your PC's name/network name and IP in the hosts file located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc of the other PC. Also ensure that port 8080 is available on open on the remote PC. Ensure that the other PC can ping your PC or at least connect to it if ICMP packets are switch off. For multiple PC on the domain I suggest setup DNS and your IIS settings properly to expose your PC to everyone.
I run an ASP.NET Development Server (that came with MS Visual Studio 2010) on my Windows 7 machine. I'm currently developing an ASP.NET C# web application and to test it on Windows 7 machine I need to navigate my web browser to an address like this:
http://localhost:59215/Default.aspx
I also have the VMware Workstation 8 installed on that Windows 7 with other OS as virtual machines. I need to try to load my web app from those virtual machines, but when I type the above address there I get "Cannot display page" error in a browser. Note that I can access internet from a virtual machine itself, but for some reason localhost on the main machine is not accessible.
Any ideas how to set this up?
OK, I got it!
For those who're interested, here's how:
Say, my developement URL on the host computer is:
http://localhost:59215/Default.aspx
Download this util, called tcpTrace and run it on a host machine. When it starts configure it as follows:
Listen to port #: 80
Destination Server: localhost
Destination Port #: 59215 (which will be different in your case)
Click OK and let tcpTrace run on the host computer.
On the virtual machine navigate the browser to the IP address of the host computer, for instance in my case:
http://192.168.0.4/Default.aspx
and it will work!
PS. To get an IP address on the host machine, run ipconfig there (in a command prompt window). Your IP will be presented in the "IPv4 Address" line for network you're connected on.
PS2. Also my Windows 7 (host) doesn't come with any third-party anti-virus or firewall. It has a built-in Windows firewall and MS Security Essentials as an AVP. So if your setup is different one needs to open the incoming port 80.
PS3. Speaking of the VMWare Workstation, the virtual machine's network adapter setting is set on "NAT: Used to share the host's IP address" as it came out-of-box when you install it.
localhost is the local machine (to the OS).
I'm not sure if the VS dev server will allow external connections, you may want to install IIS - either way, you'll have to open up the Windows Firewall to allow external connections.
I'm no VMWare user but each OS will have its own IP address(?) - and that's how you'd connect to the Windows 7/IIS image. http://the.ip.address.of.the.win7.image/
