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.

I've created a site using ASP.Net MVC that is meant to be stored on a local machine at my place of work. The intention is to have the site stored on this machine, but then accessible by all the other machines within this building.
I've followed Microsoft's tutorial as well as Code Project's tutorial, but I am not having very much luck. The binding is just the localhost, port 80, with * for the IP address. The URL is localhost/GrantTracker.
I've opened the ports within the firewall, checked the permissions on the directory (which is just within wwwroot), tried having the site take the place of the default IIS site (as Microsoft tutorial has you do) and tried having the site stand on its own with its own port (per Code Projects tutorial).
On the host machine I am receiving the standard "This site can't be reached, localhost refused to connect" which feels like either a port or permissions problem. I must be missing a step, but I can't seem to find what it would be. I am new to hosting sites through IIS so forgive me if I am just missing something basic.
I find it a bit strange too because my project uses Windows Authentication and when the site is first visited it performs that initial check with the user, authenticates, but then throws me the error.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
start simple,
create a simple html page, create an IIS application for it, on port 80.
Check and make sure you can see that page from another computer using the internal IP address of the the host machine so something like:
http:\\192.168.0.3\hostapp\test.html .
You can see the proper URL by running it from IIS, this will give you the entire URL you need, with localhost then just replace localhost with the IP address of the host machine to see it on other machines.
Do this in the original IIS folder so you don't encounter any folder permission issues. If you choose another folder you'll have to give access to the Network Service user ( i think, can't remember now, but there is a specific user that needs access to the folder where the website is deployed )
if you can see the page then deploy a proper website and do the same thing. Make sure the app pool is created correctly and it's up and running, then access it again on other computers and it should work.
Port 80 should be open by default so that should not be an issue.
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 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 added the following entries in the HOSTS file.
127.0.0.1 abc.localhost.com
127.0.0.1 xyz.localhost.com
Using the VS2010 ASP.NET Development server I am unable to run or execute the website.
When browsing http://localhost:2687/TestProject/ it shows up the default.aspx page. But when accessing http://abc.localhost:2687/TestProject/ it shows a website cannot be found page.
Is there anything else to be done when setting up subdomain on localhost.
EDIT: To make this work I removed the .com and in IE-->Connections-->LAN uncheck everything. Subdomains with port works are correctly getting forwarded. Nothing else need to be configured.
Obvious mistake is that in your hosts file you have abc.localhost.com, whereas you are browsing to http://abc.localhost/folder
Not the same thing.
Not sure this will work as you intend anyhow. I would also recommend IIS Express, part of WebMatrix, which I think is still in beta, or just use IIS. IIS 7+ on Vista, W7, Server 2008 is all really easy to use.
Use IIS or IIS express, rather than Cassini. (For several reasons, which you can google or look for on stackoverflow)
With the IIS you can easily add a hostheader entry to you webapplication with just 2 clicks.
Be aware, that you are assigning both a Url and a port.
So adding abc.localhost won't allow you to browse abc.localhost2687, just the default port (80). If you also want to browse to abc.localhost:2687 you need to a a hostheader entry according to that that Url and port.
This screenshot shows you the dialog to add hostheaders (the picture is from IIS 6, but in IIS 7 or IIS 7.5 it looks very similar)
I have published ASP.NET web site, using IIS7 on Win7. I can access this web site on my localhost, but it is inaccessable from other computers via internet. I have tried to disable firewall and anti-virus program, but with no success.
Does anyone know what may be causing this problem?
It works fine if I publish it on winXP.
Try checking out your router settings for port 80 forwarding;
Check out information about your internet provider as well;
There are providers that block port 80 outgoing traffic.
Try checking to see if the website is actually bound to 127.0.0.1. If it is, it would work for you but no one else.
Try to hit the website from a different computer on the internal network. If you can't hit it internally, then it is an issue with the local configuration on the webserver. If you can hit it internally, but can't hit it externally, then there is some kind of routing issue from the outside.
Its likely a routing issue from the outside, so think about these steps:
External DNS
Proper NAT/Firewall settings
Try using telnet to connect to the website and see if you get a response
Use tracert from the outside to see where the traffic is failing (if its failing)
Check the security settings on the deployed folder and check "Everyone" has read access. If you've not deployed under wwwroot they may not
