i have a project of online exam(web application) created with asp.net 1.1, it is working well in windows 2000 advanced server system. now i want to access that webapplication from ten windows xp systems. kindly say me how to access those webapplication from windows xp systems. my doubt is should i install iis in every windows xp systems,should i block any firewalls, and also tell me how to open my webapplication in windows xp system i mean http://localhost/webapplication1/index.a... or http://<my windows 2000 advanced server ip address>/webapplication1/index.aspx. VERY MUCH THANKS IN ADVANCE.

If you have your server and all windows xp systems connected in the same network, then in IE of all windows xp sytems accessing http://windowsServerIPAddress:port/Appli... should work and display your application in the browser.'port' is the port number on which your IIS has been started on the Windows Server.I guess its '80'.

Note that port number should be given if its other than '80' or it is not necessary.

Windows XP in-built firewall can block ports other than 80 so you need to check in those systems.

Try it out.

First create a network with all these PCs

Make sure that the clients can communicate with server with a ping command.

Install IIS on the server

Install .net component for IIS also (Not Sure about this step)

test the web server on the server itself (in Ineternet explorer, type http://localhost:portno

No worries on firewall as its only an internal communication

Try accessing the same from the client but not with localhost, instead of localhost, use the ip of the server.

Any more help, just shout.

Cheers
