I created a new website in vs05 and set the hosting environment to be http instead of file-based. When I run (F5) it I get a page at http://localhost/SiteName/default.aspx. That part works. I can also get the page at http://192.168.1.103/SiteName/default.aspx which is to be expected because that is my dhcp assigned ip for the box.

What I cannot do is go to another computer on my home network (say 192.168.1.101) and surf to the ip address and see the page. I tried it with 2 different machines, i tried using the ip, and hostname(from my host file). Each time I get a timeout which I am assuming means a page not found or the address was not located.

Shouldn't I be able to surf to an IIS served website on my own network?
Anyone else experiencing this?
