Port number in a URL

[Shafia]

Hi,
What exactly do I need to do to run an asp.net application remotely? The URL
contains a unique port number for each application e.g
http://localhost:60169/WebSite2/Default.aspx

This port number wasnt there for the ASP 1.1 and I guess this is the
problem. I get http forbidden 403 error while trying to run this remotely.

Thanks,
Shafia

You cannot hit localhost from another machine. You need the IP address of the
NIC that faces the network or a machine name. In the sample URL you show, you
have localhost as the address.

I assume that is the issue as ASP.NET does not care what port you are
running under; that is a feature of your web server (IIS?).
