In Windows 7, iis7.0 is blocked by the firewall and thus the Internet cannot be accessed.

Today, I installed iis7.0 and VMWare again. However, on a virtual machine (XP), I cannot access the website on the host.

As a result, the firewall is switched off, and XP can be accessed normally, but it won't work if it is turned on.

So I went to the Internet to find information and finally got it done.

It turns out that in the advanced settings of the firewall, you can set HTTP to pass the connection ~

Enable Firewall settings. 01:

Click inbound rules, and find the World Wide Web Service (HTTP inbound) and secure world wide web service (HTTPS inbound). enable the Service, as shown in Figure 04:
