Hi there I have a IIS set up on my computer and am able to to browse the default website at http://localhost/ as well as locally from its IP address of http://192.168.0.193

however when i try and access this ip address from a browser on another computer withing the same network it does not work. the page times out

I am assuming this has to do with a firewall setting however I tried changing all the settings up with no luck.

I tried creating a virtual server and port forwarding rule but still no luck..

I just did a reset on the router so the settings are at the factory specs.

can anyone help me with this issue please and thanks?

Try disabling SPI on the router which can be found under Advanced>>>Firewall Settings and see if that helps

thanks for the suggestion however when I disable the SPI setting this does not fix the problem in fact after changing that setting and rebooting the router I am unable to connect to any webpage on any of my computers.

Re-enabling it and rebooting the router allows me to connect again

The problem is the firewall, on your PC.

Please ensure that both PCs have their software firewalls turned off, at least for testing purposes.

do you have WINS or DNS configured?  also the setup you have requires peer to peer sharing on (unless im totally wrong) (I might be)....

Exactly.  Begin by disabling the firewall on the machine running IIS (Windows Firewall?).
