accessing asp webpage through IIS 5.1 server from LAN

[JDMM]

How do i access an asp page from LAN?

I have installed IIS 5.1 on one of my nekwork pc named ABC (say). Then i have included the folder (named "aspeg") which contains the asp webpages inside the wwwroot folder. Then i have configured the IIS by going to Default website -> Properties->Under Directory Security, i have enabled anonymous access and have checked on "Allow IIS to control password"
Now the Home Directory i have checked on "A directory located in this computer" then specified the default directory "C:\Inetpub\www root" also checked on the "Read" and then Execute permission i have given Scripts only.
Now under the Documents tab i have checked the "Enable default document" and specified "webpage1.a sp" ( this webpage1.asp is located under the aspeg folder again which is under the wwwroot folder)

So now when i access my asp webpage from other computer using this address "http://ABC/aspeg/webpage1.asp" or "http://ABC/webpage1.asp", it gives error.
so can u please specify where my problem lies?

I would use the IP. (Not sure of your skill level, so hop on ABC, click 'Start' and 'Run' and type in 'cmd' and press enter. A command prompt will open, and you then want to type 'ipconfig'. That will give the IP address of system ABC, probably something like 192.168.1.3, but that could vary depending on your setup.)

Then try http://<ABC's IP>/webpage1.asp (or as in the example above, http://192.168.1.3/webpage1.asp).

If that doesn't work, try pinging system ABC, make sure you can reach it. (On your box you want to load the webpage onto, go Start, Run, cmd, and then type in 'ping <system ABC's IP>' which would be 'ping 192.168.1.3' in my example above.) If you can't, then you know that it is a network issue.

ok i tried pinging the ABC computer and the response is fine. But still i cant access the webpage using the IP address nor the computer name. Here LAN connection is through a switch and a router, also having an internet connection.
Is there anything related to IIS configuration or windows problem?
Well from the ABC computer (the server computer where the IIS is installed) i can access the webpage using “http://ABC/aspeg/webpage1.asp” or http://ABC/aspeg or using the IP address instead of the “ABC” and it works fine.

So anyone knows where my problem lies?

Well Well Well Bingo!

The problem has been solved!
Actually its a Windows firewall problem.
From Advance tab in Windows Firewall screen->Advance tab->Local Area Connection-> Settings->Services-> Check on "Web Server (HTTP) and then clicking OK button.

And thats it! accessing from other LAN pc works!

Thanks SICARIE for the clue
