Running a local instance on 2 computers
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and everything is working fine. howerver in order to test multiple browsers I had to install Virtual PC with older browsers. howerver, when I try to connect to my instance from the virtual PC.. it says it's not available.
On my orginal PC I goto - http://localhost:3141/Portal/CMBank/Home.aspx
On the Virtual PC when I type in - http://192.168.0.10:3141/Portal/CMBank/Home.aspx (192.168.0.10 - is my IP on orgianal)
It will not display the page. What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks

How did you configure the networking for the virtual PC?
ASKER
Not sure what you mean? It's configured as a basic XP SP2 box

oh the Nic card? (sorry it's late) It's setup the same as my local machine with the same DNS and gateway. But does have a dynamic IP
Hmm, if it's on the same subnet, connectivity shouldn't be an issue.
Have you tried a tracert, ping or telnet to see if the VM (Virtual Machine) can access the host?

Okay, I figured out the issue, but I don't know how to resolve it.
When I ran a netstat -a, it shows that my computer is broadcasting and allowing 127.0.0.1:3141 as the open port, but NOT the IP address of the computer which would be 192.168.30.22:3141.
So how do I add my computer's IP address to this list?

Okay, how do I configure VS 08 to added or change the IP address from 127.0.0.1 to local IP?
Do you mean when you run or test the application in Visual Studio?
IP addresses are not included in the binaries. If you have hard coded IP addresses in your HTML then that's another issue.

Yes that's correct.
When you launch a test application, the default is "http://localhost" which in turn is "127.0.0.1" as an IP address. I want to change this to my computer IP so I can see it from another computer.

Well the IP that is used to launch tests in Visual Studio are just temporary for development. If you want another computer to see the web application you have to publish it to a running IIS instance.
So you need IIS running somewhere then you need to publish or deploy your web application to that copy of IIS to then give others access.

ASKER
Would you happen to know the set of procedures to make that happen?
Thanks

Do you have any experience setting up web applications other than running one in Visual Studio?
ASKER
Yes, I setup IIS websites all the time on W2K and W03 servers sure.
