Sharing a site across network
|

| I have three PCs in a workgroup network, all using Windows XP.
I have iis running on one of these pcs (named mf1), and from this pc I can
view a website that resides on this same pc - using either:
http://localhost/dbsite
or
http://mf1/dbsite
What do I need to do so that the two other pcs on the network can also
access the site. The website files are stored in c:\dbsite on the pc named
mf1.
Thanks

Access the site by IP address or create hosts files on the other PCs that
map the server's IP address to its name. The hosts file is located in
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc.

| Hi Mark,
Are all these PCs on the same network? Can you access (ping) the machine
with the website by using mf1?
If so, then you can use http://mf1/dbsite to access the website. You must
however make sure that port 80 is not blocked in the firewall on the
machine running the webserver.
If you cannot ping mf1, try to use the IP to access the website. That
should work. And again, you need to have port 80 open for this to work.
