Hi Scott,

To what application do I have to allow access in my firewall.

Once in my firewall app interface, I have to tell the firewall to allow
access to: what app?.


It's not the firewall that needs access to an application. It's the
firewall that must grant access to incoming traffic on a specific port
(usually port 80 for IIS, but it's random using the built in VS web server
unless you've changed it in your project properties).

If I create a Web Site with VS using location File System, I suppose I
have
have to grant access to the built-in web server, what application is
that?,
because I have to tell the firewall and search it in my disc.

If I create the web site with location HTTP, I suppose that I have to
grant
access to IIS, again, if IIS is the right app, what's the name of the IIS
app
in my directories?

Again, you don't need to grant access to the web server - you need to tell
the web server to grant access to outside traffic. This is more easily done
with IIS by opening the IIS Administration Console and examining the
directory security section of the site's properties.


Regarding to the port, how do I check the port status, where, in VS or
IIS?,
could you please tell me?,

When using IIS, it will be port 80, when using the built-in web server, it
will be a random port (which won't work for remote access), so you'll need
to open up your project's properties and set the port to a static number,
like 80.


Excuse me for my ignorance here...

thanks in advance...

Here's a silly question, but does the machine that has the web site on it
have all of the proper permissions set to allow incoming connections as
well
as any firewall software allowing traffic? If you are using the built-in
web server, it uses a random port (but you can assign it to a static
port),
so that needs to be checked as well.

Hi there,

I'm a newbie in .NET Web development. I created a Web Site using
VS2005,
then I press Start Debugging (F5), it works fine, I can see my page in
Internet Explorer 7.

The issue is: I try to access this page from another machine via the
internet, since a don't have a domain name, in the other machine I type
something like
http://200.8.119.136/MyVirtualDirectory/MyWebSiteName.aspx
as
the address, being 200.8.119.136 my currentIP Address (it's not
static).

Then I get this message saying that Internet Explorer can't show the
web
page (I translated it from spanish).

Could anybody tell me what am I not doing here?

Thanks in advance...
