Question Localhost works but IP or Name does not
I am having IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003. If I do browse or use localhost it works in IIS but if I give IP or Machine name it does not work. I am able to ping the machine by name though. The default.html has a line <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=/site/test.asp">. When I use name or IP all I see is a blank page and when I view source I could this line so probably the URL is not working and I do not know why. Any input regarding this problem is much appreciated.

Thanks,
vac2004

Check for any firewall blockage.

Thank you for the response. There isn't any firewall blockage. Also the same problem persists on 3 different installs involving IIS 6 and 2003. I believe it is somekind of setting that needs to be done but I don't know what it is. Basically the redirection not seem to work when I use IP or Name. If anyone has experienced this or have an idea please let me know.

Thanks,
vac2004

Post a sample of what works and what doesn't. I thought you were just entering the ip in your browser directly. Perhaps you have a routing problem and/or DNS problem that's keeping your redirect from working to an IP or url.

Thank you again for the response. I actually found the problem. The problem was not on IIS but on IE. The META REFRESH was disabled on the browser. I enabled it and then it works fine. But I still don't understand how would //localhost/mysite would work and //machinename/mysite would not.

Thanks,

I have problem same as vac2004 but it happen to my asp.net application, when I run the aspx file using http://localhost/time.aspx, it running well, but when I browse it using http://machinename/time.aspx they ask me to enter user name and password, and I entering my administrator name and password, and work fine, but why they ask me for user name and password..?

And it happen also on all of my virtual hosting under IIS, they ask me for username and password, but only administrator password will accepted, the others is not.

Please.... Anyone can help my problem..

Thanks
Andi
