Viewing my IIS hosted site on other machines on my network

Question

At home I have a simple network setup containing 2 machines.

On one machine i have a site hosted with IIS7. Rather than the standard localhost/index.htm

Answer 1

If you're hosting website on a specific port in IIS like 4321 then you'd have to allow this port through Windows Firewall too. Here're the steps that I followed along with the imanabidi's answer to get it work for me:

1. Windows Firewall > Advanced settings
2. Inbound Rules > New Rule
3. Select Port > Next
4. Specific local ports > Add the Port you want to allow
5. Allow All Connections
6. Enter a name and some description so that you remember it later on
7. Done
