I'm developing a website to access an MS Access DB at home while the bureaucracy at work approves hosting. I was all set to demo the site this morning, but when I entered the URL (http://<IP ADDRESS>/ejacket/logon.asp), the server timed out and I got the error " ERROR: Service Unavailable - The requested service is unavailable. Please try again later." There was no HTTP numeric error value associated with it even with friendly messages disabled.
I went home and attempted to find out the problem, but I can't get IIS to serve pages to other than the computer which is acting as the server. That machine works fine if I access the pages either as
http://localhost/ejacket/logon.asp or using the IP address in place of localhost. But if I type in that exact same URL on the other computer on my network, I get a timeout with "Could Not Find Server or DNS error." I've tried removing/reinstalling IIS, disabling the firewall completely (Port 80 was unblocked when this happened), changing Application Protection to High or Low from Medium, restarting IIS, and rebooting the computer. Nothing works. HTTP keep-alives are disabled.
This thing worked just fine a week ago and I haven't changed any settings. I'm so frustrated I've got half a mind to wipe my other computer and install a fresh installation of XP pro on it to see if I can get the darn thing to work. Comments?
