Hosting web app from pc

[Jimmy]

Hi

I am trying to let other people access my asp.net app through the internet.
Besides from any security issues i have tried this but other people cannot
reach my site. The url I want to be accessed is
:http://myip/myaspnetapp.aspx


ch Jim

-XP pro
-.net 1.1
-zonealarm 5.5.062.011

what error do they get?

 

[Jimmy]

HTTP 404 "File not found."

what error do they get?

 

[Matthias S.]

just wild guessing here:

if you want to use 'http://myip/myaspnetapp.aspx', make sure that the
base directory of your iis acutally contains the file. otherwise you
might want to use 'http://myip/mywebapp/default.aspx', where 'mywebapp'
is the virtual directory containing your project.

Just maybe a shot in the wild but.

Are you sure zonealarm allows acces to your http-port:80

I a bit hesitate to ask, are you talking your website hosted publicly or on
a computer in your own private network?

 

[Jimmy]

it's a computer in my own network

So, is the IP is a publci IP? The Internet users can only see your network
if your network has a public IP. You need to talk to your ISP, or most
likely and viable solution is to host your website (and the ASP.NET project)
with a ISP. It is not a .NET issue, rather it is network issue.

You need to do some background reading on firewalls, routers, port
forwarding and static versus dynamic IP addresses.

No one single answer IMHO.

Cheers, Rob.
