[solved] Connect to a PC running IIS over a local network
Posted: Thu Aug 18, 2005 3:44 am
I've been trying to access some web pages on my pc which is currently running IIS from another machine on our office network. The pages always fail to load saying the other pc was unable to connect to mine whether I use my IP address or machine name.
However if I turn off IIS and ASP and go back to Apache and PHP the other machines can all connect to my webpages instantly.
I have very little experience with IIS so I don't know if this is a permissions issue or what. I've looked through the properties on everything from the physical folder with the asp files in, the virtual directory and IIS itself but I can't see an obvious (or maybe I mean simple!) way to allow other machines to view my pages.
I've also pinged my machine from the other one and it connects fine.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do here?
