I am hosting an asp.net MVC 3 application on my local IIS 7.5 server. People can connect using my IP and the port I set. I can connect by typing localhost:port in a browser. If I type the IP:port however, the browser says it cannot connect.
Using wamp and other hosting programs (and even IIS at one point if memory serves), I could always connect using my own IP.
How can I set IIS to let me connect using my own IP? Or is the problem somewhere else?
My firewall is disabled, the port is forwarded and other people can connect just fine (people outside my LAN) and I have tried 3 browsers.
You cannot connect to your IIS using static IP, but, howerver you can by adding your Static IP as a lookup entry.

The article explains how to resolve the IP to reach the IIS locally.

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 deployed a web site into a Azure VM and did the following
1) Create a HTTP Endpoint with TCP protocol and port 80 (both
internal and external) for the VM
2) configure the web site to be assigned with the internal IP
assigned
I can browse to the site within the VM, but can not connect to it from external using either the DNS or the public VIP assigned by Azure. the browser said "can not connect to [vip]".
Have I missed any steps or any advice on how to trouble shoot this issue?
If this is a "normal" VM and not a Cloud Service then you need to connect to the VM and open port 80 in the Windows Firewall directly on the machine as well.
In the end, i found it is caused by the selection of "direct connect" at the Endpoint setting.
Untick it, it works...
I published a web application to one of app servers. Now, if I am connected within my company network (no login require), I can access the web site no problem. Now, if I am connected from outside of the network over VPN, I can't access the website (Getting page not found appears). Do I need to configure IIS on the app server for allowing the connection over VPN?
Thanks for your time.
It sounds like you do not have your firewall/router configured correctly to allow traffic from external sources. When your connected via VPN it is like you are connected to the internal network. Without the VPN you need to make sure it is routed correctly and visible through your firewall. Can you ping the IP that you are trying to get to?
Do you get DNS resolution when you connect over the VPN? If you are trying to hit an internal machine name address, you might try changing to the IP address of the machine.
I have a Windows 7 machine hosting a Windows 7 virtual machine. I am developing a web application using visual studio 2010 on my host machine. I want to run the application in debug mode and access my localhost server from a browser on the virtual machine. (The purpose of this is to be able to debug an application that uses Windows Authentication using different users without having to log off and on for different users on my host machine...)
I am using a bridged connection for the virtual machine. I googled how to solve this problem and most of the threads that I found said that if I was using a bridged connection, I could access the server on the host machine by just entering the IP address of my host machine into the url in the browser of the virtual machine. I have tried some different urls using the IP but none of them have worked.
As an example, suppose I run my web application in visual studio on my host machine and its url is
http://localhost:62789/MyPage.aspx
Assume also that I ran ipconfig in CommandPrompt on my host machine and found out that the IP address for my host machine is xxx.xxx.xxx.x. What url should I enter on the virtual machine to access my web application?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
I set up IIS to host the web project. After that, I just added the following line (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is my IP) to my hosts file and I was able to access the website from the virtual machine:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx MyWebsite.net
I also had to edit my firewall settings.
I personally found it easiest to setup my virtual machine using the Microsoft Loopback Adapter, and assigning the virtual machine to that adapter. The Guest OS will be assigned it's own IP with DHCP. Using the Loopback Adapter will basically put your host and guest OS on the same network. The guest will only be able to access the host, and will not be able to access the internet.
You could then access the host from the guest using whatever ip address you see on the host(run ipconfig/all on the host).
Edit: FYI I am using Virtual PC so your milage may vary. THe Loopback Adapter is a free download from Microsoft.
Edit2: You will probably need to open ports on the host machine to allow access to the web server also. The guest OS's request will still be going through the Windows firewall
It seems like you might be using VisStudio's integrated Web Server. I'm not sure this can accept requests from any host other than localhost.
Remote machines cannot connect to Visual Studio web server
Simple solution? Use IIS to host the project. Once IIS is installed (if not already) it's easy to change the project settings such that a virtual directory is created and debugging occurs in IIS.
I have created an ASP.NET application on my local machine. In order to test this application in IE 6, I have created a VPC. I am trying to connect to this web application through the VPC. However, I cannot connect to it. I can however connect to the internet.
What am I doing wrong?
Can you ping from the virtual PC? If not, you have network configuration issues.
Otherwise, check firewalls, and make sure that port 80 is open and sending traffic to IIS.
there are many possibilities. first I'd consider would be any firewall rules on the ASP.NET side preventing incoming HTTP connections.
What is the URL you are using to go to your site? If you are using localhost, you will need to change that to the actual IP address of your development machine, as localhost on the Virtual PC image will be a different IP address than localhost on the development machine.
