Using ASP.Net I did a web site and can load it up in a browser window when pressing the F5 key in VS2010.
On the browser window I noticed VS2010 used an address like this to load the web site home page:
localhost:12345/
If I try to use the ip address for my computer found by using ipconfig to load up the home page,
1.2.3.4:12345
I get an error stating:
Could not connect to 1.2.3.4:12345
If I use:
1.2.3.4
I get the IIS7 default page.
The actual address and port numbers I used in this example are different than those I really used.
Can you tell me why localhost works but 1.2.3.4 does not work?
Can you tell me if I need to do something extra with IIS7 since I never did this before?
