  Adding a website...New to IIS Reply Contact Hi All, First of all, this is my first time using IIS 7.0, so please be gentle.. I'm trying to upload a bog standard HTML website onto my IIS Server (Windows server 2008 X64). I'm going through the following process: Right Click > Add Website Input the site name (and consequently the Application Pool) Specify the path of the website Type in Hostname (Same as site name) Specify All Unassigned IP's, port 80   This IIS server is currently serving various intranet pages which are all working fine, and all the sites are pingable (such as "Printers", "Phonelist" etc...) I can't browse to the new website, or ping it. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks, David

  Re: Adding a website...New to IIS Reply Contact Websites don't answer pings, servers do.  If you can't ping it, and pings aren't blocked by a firewall, then you don't have any network connectivity to the IP and your web site will never be available.  As for suggestions, it's all networking.  Routers, netmasks, firewalls, etc. can all get in the way.
