Hello all,

I'm developing an ASP page using VS.NET 2003, on a Win XP Pro box running IIS 5.1 (i think).

when i type:
http://my.ip.add.ress/blahblah

from my local PC it works fine. But if i try the same thing from another PC on the network...it doesn't find it!

What in my IIS is misconfigured?!

please help!

:D

and if I may add although I'm 99% sure that you already know, in the built-in firewall you can tick the checkbox before "webserver" to open its port only :)
