ASP Website not accessible from remote machine

[Charlie363]

Hi to all,
I have a little asp.net website which works great on the local machine
but I cannot seem to access it from a remote machine. It is not a
connection problem because my remote machine (which is on the network)
has a share on the local machine using name resolution. The message I
get on the remote machine's explorer is the classic "Page cannot be
displayed". It seems I have looked every where on the net for
possibilites without succes. Both machines have XP SP2, firewall turned
off. The remote machine runs IIS 5.1. Both machines are under the same
workgroup. I have also tried creating a simple "Hello World" html page.
Same think. Workd locally but not remotely. Any help highly
appreciated, will send french chocolates if you sort my problem out.
Cheers,
Charlie

Hi,

There can be two reasons.

1. Either your project folder is not set as virtual. Go to IIS and right
click the project and -> properties-> click create application button to make
it virtual.

2. Are you hosting it in Web Hosting Server? If yes then try copying the
files and subfolders inside your rootfolder, not the root folder.
For further help mail me on (e-mail address removed)

Actually, the answer was:
Disable the Microsoft Firewal. Simple as that! I guess I'll go eat
chocolate now, thanks for your help anyways!
