How to make Windows Server Hosted MVC app public

Question

I have created a simple MVC Application and hosted on Windows Server 2016 on IIS, its running fine on server, like this:

Now i want to access it on my local network, with the same ip: 148.72.xxx.xxx:xx, but i am unable to do so. Can anybody help me what i am missing here.

Also: it worked when change port to 80 but not working on port 82 why so?

Answer 1

I think that's because either you didn't change your port number in IIS binding from default 80 to 82 or you forgot to allow 82 port in your windows feirewall. The port number is not controlled by your MVC application but IIS binding host header.
