Set up intranet using XP Pro & IIS

[endomorph1]

Thus may seen like a real dumb-shmuck question but I am trying to set up a small intranet site for the company I work for. It will be sitting on a XP Pro machine using IIS. I have copied all the files over and set it all up, but how do I access the site from one of the other machines on the network?

Maybe there is something I am missing on the IIS default website setup?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers

IP address is probably easiest e.g. h*ttp://10.0.0.1/ (note the numbers need to be your machine's IP address, and without the star!)

You could also use the network name or fully qualified domain name, depending on your internal network set-up.

Are you using a router?

If so you need to configure it to forward port 80 to the IP of your server computer.

To work your router must support loopback, if not other computers on the network won't be able to see your website!

I found the problem. Forgot to open Port 80 on the firewall.

Thanks for your answers anyway.
