Accessing ASP.Net Website

[Derice]

I have created an asp.net web project and deployed it in my pc with the virtual directory set to websetup1. How should i access my website? When i type my ip add in the browser, it will display my router configuration page instead. Should i include virtual directory in my url so it will bring me to my website insted of my router configuration page? If this is the case how should i include virtual diretory in my url?

Good Day Derice

The Url will be Formed like this
http://[Machinename]/ [Virtual Directory]/

That will be the URL.

Hope this Helps

Right Click on "My Computer" and to Go Properties --> ComputerName, in the Full Computer Name : Tell me what is there

[Derice]

My full computer name is "d3ric3-913b8755."

[Derice]

oh ya, i am getting "404 Not Found" message when i tried to access my website from other pc.

[Derice]

I had also turned off my windows firewall as well. Hope these help.

Now this means your URL will be

http://d3ric3-913b8755/fp/

Try it and check if it works

I am trying to access it through pc in my same network and also pc out of my network. It is working when i typed 192.168.1.2/fp which is the private network but when it is access from other network then the problem arised.

i guess Ping d3ric3-913b8755 is only return positive result for pc in the same network which is true for my situation with 0 lossess.

Now this mean that the PC in other Network have no access to your private Network. So the Problem here is not your Application , the other PC's dont have access to your Private network.

Please Talk to your Network guys about this Issue. if they can ping it from outsite Network , then your problem will be solved
