[RESOLVED] [2005] replacing localhost with ip address

[vishalmarya]

i have vs.net 2003 and web developer express version on my development machine.

if i want to run a vs.net 2003 aspx application ( folder mapped in IIS ) from a different machine on our network , providing ip address and the webfolder , it works .

like

"http://192.168.1.2/mywebapplication/form1.aspx" ( 192.168.1.2 is where IIS is )

how do i do it for web developer express applications as it has its own built in web server.

i have tried

"http://192.168.1.2:theport/webapp2005/form1.aspx"

but the page is not displayed

Any ideas ?

As far as I know you can't - That web server is only for development and only listens on 127.0.0.1

You need to set up IIS and then publish the code to that machine.

Just deploy your web application to a virtual directory on 192.168.1.2. The port number that you get when using VWD has nothing to do with the application, it's just a random port selected during debugging.
