Hi all,

Situation:
- 2 computers behind router/switch;
- dhcp enabled on router;
- computer name 1 = cpuA (WinXP Pro);
- computer name 2 = cpuB (WinXP Home);
- cpuA and cpuB can access each other's resources;
- cpuA runs IIS with asp.net website;
- cpuA and cpuB are in the same workgroup and have
equal subnet masks.

Problem:
How can cpuB always get access to the asp.net
website 'being served' on cpuA without
knowing the IP of cpuA (which is always
changing). I tried: "http://cpuA/<rest_of_address>"
and "\\cpuA\<rest_of_address>" but both without
any luck. It does work when I use the IP address
instead (http://<IP>/<rest_of_address>).
Do I need to add some dns stuff to get it working?

Regards and thanks for your time,
Frederik

Hi,

Since both machines are on the same subnet, this is not related to name
resolution. Try the following:

On the "Web Site" tab in IIS on your website, click the advanced tab and add
cpuA. Then the site will respond to reuqests to http://cpuA

Regards

Hi Niclas,

Thanks for your answer, but it did not work.
Even worse, I can no longer access the website on cpuA from cpuB using the
ip address.
Pinging from both computers using ip or cpu name works still fine.
Seems like I messed it up, but I donno how :-(

Any help is appreciated,
Frederik

Hi Serge,

"http://cpuA/printers/" works fine on cpuA (server), but not on cpuB
(client).
Could it have something to do with the fact that I use "Integrated Windows
Authentication" (although it did work in the past)?

Regards,
Frederik

hi,

Default settings for IIS on autentification works fine in the way you plan
to use it.
Anonymous access ON
Allow IIS to control password ON
Intergrated Windows authentification ON

Could you run an IPCONFIG /ALL on both machine and post the results

Hi Serge,

No, http://cpuA does not display the default site (error). Though \\cpuA
displays the shared folders on cpuA. Seems weird!

HI,
When you type from CPUB htp://cpuA does it display the default web site ?
