Hi,<br />
<br />
I am hosting several sites on IIS 7.5 on Server 2008 R2.<br />
<br />
The server has a local IP address - 192.168.0.2. All port forwarding goes through the router and all works fine. <br />
<br />
I have a license file which is bound to our external IP address, meaning (i think) I need to change the bindings for each website so they are all &nbsp;using the external IP.<br />
<br />
I have gone to the network adapeter properties and added the second IP address. <br />
<br />
The problem is, when I change the IP address from the internal to external IP in the bindings, I get the following error - <br />
<br />
403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.<br />
<br />
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.<br />
Any ideas on this would be very apreciated!<br />
<br />
Thanks

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries, organized in abstraction layers, traditionally called "Link," "Internet," "Transport" and "Application”. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP defines packet structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.
