I have a machine on my home network running Windows Server 2008 (IIS7) with a web application running under default website called HTCOMNET. The network is just on a Windows Workgroup. The server is named nas1 and has a (dynamically assigned) IPv4 address of 192.168.2.12.
I can ping 192.168.2.12. When I ping the machine by name ("nas1"), the hostname resolves to an IPv6 link-local address (as opposed to the ipv4 address). In a browser, I can go to http://nas1/HTCOMNET/ and IIS serves the site, no problem. But if I go to http://192.168.2.12/HTCOMNET, no dice. I have all the windows firewalls turned off.
Any idea what's going on? I can't for the life of me figure out why I can't hit IIS via the IP. I feel like it's something really obvious, but i can't figure out what. Thanks!
When you load the ip in the browser what error shows up? – Unfundednut – 2010-03-20T22:18:32.757
I just get a typical "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error. No IIS error or anything. – user31764 – 2010-03-21T16:52:10.730
What happens if you try to go to http: //[ipv6 address]/HTCOMNET (with the brackets) from another computer? – Stephen Jennings – 2010-03-21T20:04:45.247
