Accessing localhost on IIS7 from another computer on the network
Solution 1:
As @Johnh said it is most likely your firewall.
Open up port 80 on your firewall or whatever port you are hosting the local site on should it be a nonstandard port.
+1 for testing with telnet. Will give you a quick and definit answer on if the Web Server has the proper port open.
Solution 2:
Campo is correct, you most likely need to open a port. Here's how: (on windows 7)
- Open Control Panel
- Windows firewall
- Select advanced settings
- Select Inbound rules
-
Select "New Inbound Rule"
Specify local ports 80, 8081. Allow Domain
