ERROR When Accessing a Local Website from another Computer on Same Network

I have a Visual Studio project that I have setup through IIS. I can access that website locally (computer A) via chrome with no issues. I do not have to have VS open or debug the project.

I have gone ahead and setup my IIS to have the following bindings...

  1. type: http / host name: work.local / port: 80 / ip address: *
  2. type: http / host name: / port: 80 / ip address: "my computers IP address"

I used to be able to access the website from another computer (computer B) on the same network without problems, but now nothing. If I enter the computer A's ip address on computer B via chrome; I get the IIS7 welcome screen/image. If i proceed to add the rest of the URL, I get a "This site can't be reached 'computer A's IP Address' refused to connect. ERR_CONNECTION_REFSUED".

I also have port 80 setup to allow all incoming connections.

Any idea's or things I can try to resolve this?

Thanks!

Many approaches to isolate the issue.

  • Please add a binding with hostname as blank,IP address * and port 80 - **with this binding,you should be able to access the site using http://localhost, http://machinename, http://fqdnmachinename **

  • Also check your firewall.Make sure firewall does not have any rule or completely turn off firewall and verify

  • Try to access the with fully qualified name(FQDN)
  • Check Event logs for system and application events
  • Capture network trace in the chrome or IE developer toolbar. May be you are getting a redirection from website.

You can also verify if your site is listening on all IP address on port 80 with following command

netstat -ano | find ":80"

This command should list process with I'd 4 listening on port 80 .

Hope this helps!
