[dba-Tech] IIS different port

Just going through a HUGE backlog of posts.  Two things to keep in mind.
First of all, when using a different port, you MUST prefix the URL with
http:// otherwise the browser won't know what it's connecting too.  So it
would be http://192.168.1.100:54637 .  Also, if you are doing this with a
firewall in between, you need to make sure that port is open.  Sometimes
ISPs block ports they don't think are used, so you may have an ISP issue if
you are trying to access it through the net.

Subject: [dba-Tech] IIS different port


I am trying to get IIS set up again on my computer.  I had it running once
using an odd TCP Port (54637) instead of the normal 80.  I have IIS running,
and if I just use 80 I get the web site served up, the same data as my real
web site - just so I know it's working.  However if I go in to the
properties for the site and enter 54637 as the tcp port, I can't see the
site, even locally.

Am I correct that if you use anything other than 80 you have to put in the
workstation name or local IP address colon tcp port?  Ie 192.168.1.100:54637
?
