I am trying to run my web project on IIS.

I have installed IIS and created virtual directory. I just tried to run application by two ways.
Note :Here I have used one ActiveX control
1] http://localhost//virtualdirectoryname/default.aspx
2] http://ipaddress//virtualdirectoryname/default.aspx

1st link is working properly but insted of "localhost", I just used "ipaddress" in the second case.

Actually both are same but second link is not working. Is there any property that I have to set in IIS or in my project?

Please help on this or suggest me...

Thanks....

When you say 'not working', what do you mean?

Do you see a .Net error page? Or do you see a 404 'page not found' or something like that?

Solution 2

localhost is IP address 127.0.0.1 which is not the same as your computers IP address. In order for IIS to also accept this IP address you'll have to change the binding. The website your virtual directory was created on needs to listen on "your computers IP" at port 80. So check your IIS configuration.

I'm not sure if it's really OP's problem, but since OP hasn't responded yet we're left with guessing. Thanks for your vote Espen.

I have seen this a few times and it is usually caused by an incorrect proxy server configuration. If you can access it via telnet (this would not be going via the proxy) then you have effectively verified that a service of some kind (not necessarily IIS!) is running on that port.
I recommend disabling the auto-detect proxy option if you are using Internet Explorer and are not using a proxy or if you must use a proxy add explicit declarations for exceptions rather than relying on the "Bypass Proxy for Local Addresses" checkbox.
