I am working on a DotNet Web Application and have some internal users
"testing" my application by accessing it through my PC Name (example:
http://MyPCName/Folder/Folder/home.aspx).

How can I turn off access to my Local Host Files in DotNet ?

You could set a redirect in you default page to go to some page if it is not
called from your computer.

The simplest way would be to change IIS to use a non-
standard port and don't tell anyone (I'm assuming that
your internal users are not mallicious and will not do a
port scan). To change IIS, go into your Internet Services
Manager and go to the properties of the default web site.
Change the port from 80 to some other port (above 1024 (or
somewhere around there)), eg 2100 (use 'netstat -an' to
ensure that the port you use isn't already being used on
your machine). Then to access the site you just use http
(s)://machinename:portnumber/etc/etc.aspx.

Tell everyone else that you'r not runnin IIS on that
machine anymore ;-).

Good luck,
Martin

Redirect the default page to a porn site. That should get them to stop. BTW
just kidding!
