I am developing an ASP.NET application using a IIS (5.1?)
on my XP computer. When I try to visit the site from my
own computer, it works. When I go to another computer in
the office running Windows 2000, it works, I can visit
the site. But, when I go to another computer in the
office running Windows XP, I can't see the site. I just
get the "Cannot Finder Server or DNS error," and I get
this even if I turn off "Show Friendly Error Messages."
All the computers are on the same subnet in the office
and I can ping my computer from the XP machines that
can't get to the website. Any ideas?

Hi,

Try accessing it using http://i.p.address

I tried that -- still doesn't work.

I also tried using only Anonymous authentication, only
Windows authentication, and the default which was
Anonymous, Digest, and Windows authentication (but not
basic), and none of these worked from another XP machine.

I'm wondering if there's something in the XP security
policy control panel, or some authentication issue on our
domain (we have both NT and Windows 2000 domain
controllers, seems odd but I'm just the developer)? But
wouldn't anonymous authentication ignore all that?

Thanks, Marc

Problem solved: It was not an IIS issue. The VPN client
software I sometimes use had, unknown to me, its own
personal firewall function that was keeping out http
connections.

Thanks!
