Hi,
I have created a web project in asp.net 4.0 on the dev server under my username:
This is of filetype filesystem and NOT http
When I want to browse to it, I browse to:
http://localhost:12345/web/default.aspx

This works fine but my colleagues get the following message when browsing to the same address as above:
The message is:
http error 403 - forbidden

What is the solution to this problem please?
Thanks

Are they browsing to localhost or to your machine name?

When you are colleagues are trying to access, use ur ip address or computer name,

localhost is accessible only to your own machine .

If your friends try to use localhost, it will try to check withing their machine that the page exists.

You have to use
http://computername:12345/web/default.aspx

or
http://10.1.190.2:12345/web/default.aspx
