  Access Website from another computer in local network?

  Mar 22, 2012 02:31 PM|LINK

  Hi, im using IIS 5.1 on windows xp professional service pack 3.

  Im working on a local netwrok.

  i have published an asp.net website on machine1. Im accesing the site from machine1 fine. Like: http://ipadress/foldername.

  The problem is when im trying to access the website from machine2, the website in machine2 does not load.

  What can i do to solve this?

  thanks

  Hi,

  I know exactly what the problem is!!

  Sorry, of course, I don't. Can you give us some details, such like:

  - what do you mean by "the website in machine2 does not load". Do you get an error message? Better, do you get an HTTP error code?

  - did you check the IIS log files on machine1 when you can't access your website from machine2?

  - did you check the Application log on machine1 when you can't access your website from machine2 (if you get an http 50x.x error)? 

  - does the TCP 80 port opened for network access on machine1?

  etc.

  I need to check the error message and logs. The tcp 80 port is now open.

  Im going to test a little and post back.

  I was wondering if i can emulate the "external access" to the website from my own machine?

  is there a way to do this?

  Of course : use a proxy. There anonymous open ones, just try to search "anonymous proxy list" on google.

  Is it ok now from 'machine2'?

  I will try the proxy.

  I still can't test machine2, because im waiting on machine2 user. I let you know when i can test it.

  Problem solved. Machine2 can now see the website. It was the TCP 80 port. I added the exception on windows firewall and now is fine.

  thanks a lot.

  By default you'll find the logs in :

  - HTTP.sys error logs : C:\windows\system32\logfiles\httperr

  - HTTP access logs : C:\windows\system32\logfiles\w3svcXXX (where XXX is the ID of the website)
