  web server not working on local network Reply Contact Hi, I have installed IIS and it was working fine  but all of the sudden it stopped working. I have installed a lot of windows update recently and not sure whether this might be causing the problem. I tried google for hours but I couldn't find a real good solution to this. I can actually access on local machine, all the files, and asp files do load up properly. But when I tried to access any file on a diffent computer within the same LAN, it wouldn't work.  I thought it was a firewall problem so I turned the firewall off and tried it but gives me the same result, which is just timeout.  I have tried it with 3 different machine, 1 iphone, and 1 notebook and 1 other pc. But they all give me the same result. I did look into IIS admin and configurations on control panel but I couldn't find anything suspicious. It had all the anonymous permission allowed on the web folders and everything seemed fine.  I am using nod32 for antivirus,  iis 5.1 on windows xp pro, installed all the updates. What could go wrong? Thanks a lot for helping in advance. Cheers

  Re: web server not working on local network Reply Contact I wouldn't say this sounds like an IIS issue as much as a network issue.  Can remote machines 1) ping the iis server? 2) telnet X.X.X.X 80 (replace x.x.x.x with the iis ip address) and a get connectivity. 3) Anything show up in the IISLogs?

  Re: web server not working on local network Reply Contact Look in the Application and System logs for warnings or errors related to W3SVC, IIS, or ASP.NET. Also make sure that friendly error messages are disabled in IE on the notebook PC and see if you get a more descriptive error.

For some reason, when I tried to browse the file, IE 7 automatically does search on google. So I cannot even try to the http error message.  I will try few more things and let you know. Thanks Tom, Steve, and others for help.~

  Re: web server not working on local network Reply Contact ok i've given up remote access :P  still can't figure out why. Btw I am trying to test asp.net pages on localhost, but it's not displaying. Surely the asp files load fine, but aspx doesn't load and it complains that it cannot display xml pages. <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"  CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > <head runat="server">     <title>Untitled Page</title> </head> <body>     <form id="form1" runat="server">     <div>         </div>     </form> </body> </html> this is the code on the source section of the file. As you can see, I haven't touched anything after I created new webform file. But it doesn't work... man.. I don't have much luck with IIS.
