How to setup ASP.net application and IIS on host it on own computer?

Hello everybody,

Please help,

My case:

I have my own domain registered with register.com.
I have static IP provided by my DSL provider.
I have developed ASP.Net application on my computer and have IIS installed on machine (XP Pro).
I have tested my application and it runs perfectly using localhost.

After I was done with testing I called register.com to redirect my domain requests to the static IP provided by my ISP provider.

Once they redirected domain requests, I was able to ping my website (which was displaying my static IP address provided by ISP). I guess everything was cool.

Then I went to IIS/ComputerName/Web Sites/Default Web Site properties (Web Site tab) made following changes:

1. I left default "Description” to be “Default Web Site”
2. I changed “IP Address” to display my static IP address (provided by ISP) instead “(All Unassigned)”.
3. I left “TCP Port” to display 80.
4. I do not have any firewall software.
5. and I didn’t change anything else.

At this point when I go to Internet Explorer and enter my domain name I can access my web site, but when I try to access my web site from another computer, web site can not be found.

Do I need to configure DNS (in my case they are provided by domain provider)?
Do I need router?
Is there anything I'm missing?

I did post a similar thread, and someone forwarded me to http://www.no-ip.com/tips.php/id/6.

It didn't help, but is an excellent article.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem, Please help. Send me email on talha83@hotmail.com explaining me how to resolve this issue.

Leave the setting to All Unassigned. Also, unless you changed your network settings your NIC does not have the external static IP assigned to it. Do you have a router? If so you must forward port 80 to the internal address of the IIS box.



If you don't have a router, take your IIS back off the Internet so you don't become one of those virus-infected zombies that run robot code trying to break into all the other unpatched, unfirewalled servers on the net.

I have fixed my problem. I had window's firewall on.
By disabling it, I was able to run the application.

Thanks to all of you for your help.

shtreber.
