1. Modify binding:

The default configuration file is located in [my documents] \ IISExpress \ config \ applicationhost. config. Open notepad and find:

 

Add a binding below:

 

<Binding protocol = "http" bindingInformation = "*: 8080: [computer name or external IP address]"/>

 

 

Now, we can access our WebSite1 site through the computer name on the local machine. However, an error may occur during external access! The most common error is that IIS prompts 304 errors.

In this case, the following operations are required. Both 2 and 3 require administrator permissions.

 

 

2. Modify Http. sys

 

For Windows 7 or Windows Vista, run the following command as an administrator:

Netsh http add urlacl url = http: // myhostname: 8080/user = everyone

Windows XP:

Httpcfg set urlacl/u http: // myhostname: 8080 // a D :( A; GX; WD)

 

Myhostname can also be an IP address.

WinXP:

 

 

 

Now, we can access our website from the outside. After testing, the speed is not low.
