W7 X-64 and IIS. No connection from LAN
Hi all
anybody got a webserver with IIS working yet on W7 X-64 and been able to connect to it from another machine on the same LAN.
Enc screenshot of the problem
The server works fine if I'm on that machine (http://localhost)
If I'm downstairs in the conservatory with a laptop and want to connect to the server (http://local-ip) I just CAN'T connect anyhow.
Machine is pingable, and can see it on the network. Can access disks etc etc.
Just cant access the webserver. Client Laptop is running either W7 x-64 or Windows XP -- either OS won't connect.
I've also got a Linux server running apache on the same LAN -- Not a sausage of a problem --connects every time). (Different port so no conflict there). Also I can bring the Linux machine down when testing anyway just in case.
Why on earth is Windows Networking such a DOG.
(all firewalls are off while testing and port forwarding on the router is fine)
IIS server works fine on Windows XP -- but W7 -----!!!!
I like W7 - but I MUST get the web server working.
(A virtual XP machine running on W7 also works fine as the web server so I KNOW the problem has got to be IIS and W7 X-64)
To simplify matters I'm running the RC version (7100) for this test -- I did try later builds with the same problem.
Really greatful if anybody can solve this problem -- I should be able to access my own web server from within my LAN -- It's a bit useless if I have to go to the physical machine to do any work on it.
Thanks.
Cheers

(Update -- IIS needed a fix on the Web server W7 machine -- install the LATEST version -- I think 7.5 otherwise gives probs)
