Problems accessing my web app over a network

2
Hi Guys

I've set up a web app on my machine using IIS and XP Pro. I can access the site using my machine (http://localhost/appName) no problems, but when I try and access this app using another machine over the network (http://192.XXX.X.X/appName) it just times out.

Any ideas what the problem would be?

I've just changed machine, previous to this I was running windows 2000 and I could access the app over the network with no problems.

Any help would be much appreciated

Kind Regards

Terry

Hi there,

Make sure the IIS_URS is given <read/write> permission on folder of your application. Good luck & Take care.

Hi Terry,
I've had the exact same problem. I'm not keen to disable the firewall. So you can activate the firewall again, but this time select the advanced tab then select the Local Area Connection - > Settings
Tick the Web Server (HTTP) and click OK.
Close everything and you should have IIS running with Firewall enabled.

There are then other problems especially when you create virtual directories, but I'm sure someone will be able to help.

Cheers

Hi,

I am still facing the same problem. Is there any work around without removing the firewall? The IIS_USR doesn't seem to exist. Where would i find it?

Thanks

Have you tried adding specific applications to the "Exceptions" of the windows firewall?

Sometimes you have to specify that certain applications are allowed through the firewall ...I remember I had to add IE to this at one time.
