IIS 7 on windows 7 and server2008

Ok so im trying to configure the service, currently using the built in test page that comes with iis 7. Everything has been setup as default. Why cant i access the webpage via the internal IP address, eg: 192.168.0.16?

Have you got the IIS bindings set-up for all IPs?

i think so,

i have added the binding to the ip address of the machine to port 80 for http, and the unassigned all to :80 too. Not sure if thats correct as finding a simple answer is hard as my google fu is weak tonight

Hmm I'd have thought if you're mapping All Unassigned then it should work.

does http://localhost work? Any firewalls enabled which may be behaving oddly?

localhost works fine, ill check the firewall, ill be quite annoyed if thats blocking it or not!

edit: B****rd firewall >.<

haha solved then?

I've spent ages trying to fix problems like this only to think "what if I disable the firewall" and it all works. Annoying

Yeah all solved now, next task is to get network load balancing between two servers, but that can wait till the morning

This uni module is turning out to be quite fun

Sounds fun. You're on your own there! I imagine IIS7 makes this a lot easier than previous versions fortunately.

There is an option for network load balancing in the server manager, so hopefully it will be a case of this is the IP of server 2, go play nice with it

Hopefully. The Apache load balancer is actually very simple to get going so I'm sure the IIS one will be as well.

Failing that, throw a bigger server at it instead
