Can not view pages and Webservice deployed in IIS from another Box

Hi,

I am having a problem in viewing a test page and a simple webservice I have
created from another machine.

I can view the following locally: http://localhost/index.htm

and http://localhost/TempConvert1/Service1.asmx

However, if I use my desktop's hostname or IP address instead I can not view
the above two from another machine on the same network and domain.
Additionally, even from the local box, if I specify the hostname or IP, I am
not able to view the page or the webservice, and get a log in box!

I have made sure that IIS is running.

Please help!

Thanks,
Apurva

By "not able to view" do you mean you get an error page or do you mean
that whenever you try to view the page some idiot co-worker puts a bag
over your head? If it's the second one, carry a lighter and set fire
to the bag. Or your co-worker.

Or you could add the system's domain and/or IP address to the Intranet
Secuirty Zone in Internet Explorer's Security tab and see if that
helps.

The problem is solved. Windows firewall was blocking all http traffic to my
laptop. Went in the wrong direction for quite a while, trying to change
IIS's config, the security policy etc. It turned out to be a more basic
problem though.
