  Page stops working when bindings are added Reply Contact I am using Vista Ultimate, and am completely new to ISS. I followed this tutorial http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/372/serving-new-content/ to set up a website. It all works fine until it tells you to edit the bindings. I edit the one that is listed and use the host header tobyb121.com. However after doing this the website stops working. I cannot ping to the address and when I try ot browse to it I get an error saying "internet explorer cannot display the webpage" I use a wlan, connected to a linksys wag54gs, and have tried to do this with the ports forwarded and without. I also cannot access the site at all from other computers on the network(with or without the bindings), though I'm not sure if this is linked. Any help would be appreciated, tobyb.

  Re: Page stops working when bindings are added Reply Contact Hi tobyb121, tobyb121: I followed this tutorial http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/372/serving-new-content/ to set up a website. It all works fine until it tells you to edit the bindings. I edit the one that is listed and use the host header tobyb121.com. Actually this video offers you several options to serve content from IIS7. Creating a new website to serve content is another option in this video. To avoid confliction when you have multiple sites running simultaneously, you need to edit the binding. tobyb121: I cannot ping to the address and when I try ot browse to it I get an error saying "internet explorer cannot display the webpage" I use a wlan, connected to a linksys wag54gs, and have tried to do this with the ports forwarded and without. This issue is because DNS record is not set correctly, DNS lookup is a requirement for clients vistiting sites with host headers.   Zhao Ji Ma Sincerely, Microsoft Online Community Support “Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
