View asp.net site on a computer ?

[AAaron123]

I have a roadrunner personal page internet site.

I just found out it does not support ASP.NET.

I've developed an asp.net site that I would like to show someone.

I can't image this is possible but I have to ask to be sure.

Is there any way I can send him something (maybe on a cd) that he can view
on his XP computer.

He does not have VSxxxx I'm sure.




Who is a good isp that supports asp.net?

Does ms publish list?

thanks

This place has good prices and small package plans. ( maybe 1 month? I know
they have 6 month plans ).

Unless they have IIS installed on their local box (unlikely), you need to
host it somewhere.

Google free asp.net hosts as well. But I'd rather pay the $40 or so.

You'll have to hoof a lot on your own,
but this article describes how you can do that :

The url refererence is good for the technical aspect.

If it's just one time deal, just open up port 80 and configure your router
to send port 80 to your IIS computer, then send your external IP address to
whom ever you want to see the website. Afterwards you can close port 80 on
your router.

It may turn out to be more work that I like anyway.

All I have is a cable modem.
Something I can do in XP?


thanks

I did this one time.

I basically run IIS from home...so I could download a music file at work
when I wanted it.

.......

XP Pro
Make sure IIS is installed from control panel / add remove programs /
windows setup

Install your app onto your PC.
Lets say you install it at

http://mypc/MySuperCoolApp/

...

Open up port 80 on your router.
Find your WAN IP address from your router. (NOT the 192.168.1.x variety,
but the other one).
Let's say its
66.77.88.99

Go to a coffe house, and browse to:
http://66.77.88.99/MySuperCoolApp/

Something like that.


Its take some trial and error.

PS
When I did it, I could NOT go to
http://66.77.88.99/MySuperCoolApp/
from a computer from inside my house. Thus the coffee shop.

.........

Your "upload" speed from your broadband plays a role.

Some broadbands may disable the ability to do this as well.

Good luck.

(like I said, I'd rather pay the $40 (ha ha))

Sorry, I should have said.

"Forward Port 80 to your mypc", instead of just "open up your port 80".

...

You're basically saying "any traffic that comes in on the router (from the
outside) on this port, forward the request to some computer".

All I have is a cable modem. No Router.
Can't I do as you suggest inside the pc?


thanks

Another solution would be to run Microsoft Live Mesh, and have them remote
into your machine.

If you don't have a router then you are all set, just have to make sure your
firewall software is not blocking the inboud traffic on port 80.
go to http://www.ipchicken.com/ to find out your IP address then ask one of
your friends to go to

http://<IP Number from the Chicken>/youAppName/Default.aspx

Just make sure your IIS is setup to server ASP.NET applications and your
application is installed on IIS.

thanks I'll have to look into that

 

[AAaron123]

sounds like the easiest approach

Actually Mesh would be far easier, no router or network changes at all.
Plus, most (all?) cable internet providers block all access to Port 80

roadrunner does not block port 80
