Hello All,

I want to configure to allow a group of computers to access the a
virtual directory and we are trying to grant the access to a group of
computers..

According to the IIS help we should add the computer IP on which the
web server is running and subnet mask.

For eg if a computer running with the following config with IIS

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 158.92.56.213
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.128

we are adding the network ID as 158.92.56.213
and in the subnet id as 255.255.255.128

But it does not work.. what is the reason .. any other settings we
have to do ?

Regards
Chandra

That would grant access only to the webserver, not to any other computers.

You need to add the network address + subnet mask to give all computers on
the subnet access to the webserver.

If you do not know how subnetting works, download a subnet calculator off
the 'net (you can probably find a heap via google.com).

Currently, in the fourth octet, your netmask is:

10000000

Cheers
Ken
