Unable to access IIS over LAN

July 12th, 2008 admin Posted in IIS 1 Comment »

Issue: Firefox and IE display a blank page when trying to access an IIS 5.1 server from another computer on the LAN.

This turned out to be caused by Windows Firewall on the IIS computer. I turned that off and everything ran fine. It would probably be better to specify something in Windows Firewall to allow my other computers to access IIS than to turn it off completely.
