Accessing IIS 7.5 Express from another machine on the intranet

I am running on VS 2010 Pro with SP1 Beta and IIS 7.5 Express. Everything is working fine, but I am trying to access the site from another machine on our intranet and it does not seem to see anything, I simply get a:

"Oops! This link appears to be broken."

error in Chrome. Even if I am on the machine and type in:

123.45.6.8/SiteName

instead of:

localhost/SiteName

(which works), I get the error. Can this be done with IIS 7.5 Express? Thank you.

Solution

  • IIS Express by default only supports local connections - according to a statement by ScottGu, there should be an option to explicitly enable remote connections, however.

    See this blog post: Serving External traffic with WebMatrix for how to do this.
