Not able to access IIS deployed asp.net application from remote systems.

Question

Hi, I have deployed an asp.net(2.0) application in IIS. I am able to access the link for the application from my system. How ever it is not accessible from the other systems in the same LAN.

Can anyone tell me what might be the problem?

Thanks Rupa

Have you checked your OS to make sure that it doesn't have any firewalls turned on? That'd be the first thing that comes to mind on this.

To add an opening for port 80 in the windows firewall on your machine, run the following from an elevated command window.

netsh firewall add portopening protocol=tcp port=80 name=HTTP

If you're running a 3rd party firewall, you'd want to consult the documenation on that to do the same thing. Just open port 80 for your machine, don't disable the whole firewall.
