IIS External Access by IP Address

It might seem like this is working. I tried various combinations in relation to the site. I can browse the default webpage using the internal IP address as well as the name of the machine from any computer on my network, but when it comes to access via the public IP address that I received from whatismyip.com, the browser keeps waiting and wait and finally craps out ..

Also, I disabled Firewall (temporarily), but no luck. I have never done this kind of setup before, I’m struggling a bit.

My ISP does not block traffic on port 80.

All the entries in the screenshots of the bindings represent various combinations that I tried either all together or separately.

Hooray!

Here are a few thoughts on setting up resources on your network.

Configuration notes

It looks like you have a router, so your router is tied to an external IP address, not to your computer. In this case, your computer does not have an external IP (75.75.75.75). It has only internal IP (10.0.0.6). You must configure the router to forward port 80 to the internal IP address of your computer. You must also bind IIS to the internal IP address.

I should note that, given your screenshots above, you are already close to already doing this. The only thing I will remove from your configuration above is the IIS binding to the external IP (75.75.75.75).

Testing

When testing your site, a potential problem is with the router itself. Typically, the router does not allow the machine internal access to an internal resource (for example, IIS) through an external IP. So, for example, if you try to browse from your network to 75.75.75.75, the router will not allow this to happen. Perhaps this is why you see the browser freeze. What you must do to test a website is to access an external IP address outside of your network. Ask a friend or relative (outside your network) to try connecting to an external IP address and see if it works.

So, how should you access the site from your network? Use only the internal address (10.0.0.6).
