Introduction

In this article, we will learn about Access Website Hosted In IIS On Windows 10 From Any PC On LAN.

Prerequisites

• Windows 10 PC with IIS installed. (In this example IIS version is 10 )
• Basic knowledge of website hosting on IIS.

Create a website in IIS

Open run (windows key + R) and type inetmgr and press enter or in Cortana Search type IIS.

IIS Manager opens.

Then right click on Sites and click on Add Website. The Add website dialog opens.

• Fill in required details and select folder where compiled code is located. Eg: C:\Nigel\Publish
• Select required port , default is 80. I will be using 7500.
• Do not enter host name details if you are testing or using on LAN. 

Then click ok. A website gets created and it will show under Sites.

Now right click on website name then Manage website and then click browse.

The link should be in the form on http://localhost:7500/  if you used port 7500 and selected http.

Locate your IP Address

Now open command prompt. Type cmd in run.

Type ipconfig and press enter. Now locate your PC's IP address on the LAN.

Now in your website link replace localhost with 192.168.0.24 (IP address) so your URL will be - http://192.168.0.24:7500/

Try it in your browser to make sure it works.

Change Firewall Rules

In Cortana search type firewall then click on Windows firewall with advanced security.
