IIS 6 Create a Website based on IP and Port - Error Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Hi All,

I have configured a website in IIS 6 so that I just only need to reference the IP address and port as per my previous question at

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27307076/IIS-6-Create-a-Website-based-on-IP-and-Port.html

I ran the command netstat to make sure to choose a port that isn't currently being used - port 88 in my case.

When I go to the IP address and port like so - http://172.0.0.1:88 I just get the error 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage' - ignore the IP here as it is for example purposes and understand its and internal one.

Can anyone suggest what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks,

Rit

My appologies, its IIS 7. (doh!)

The IP address and port 88 are showing in these fields correctly. though they are located in a different place - Site Bindings section rather than Properties - Web site :-) Still get the error.

Hi gaurav05,

it turns out that all ports are being blocked by the firewall other than the ones being used.

Thanks for you expertise.
