How to make a Web Application run under a particular IP

Question

I have created a .Net Web Application. Now i need to run my application under my machine IP instead of local host.

Can anybody give me the solution?

Answer 1

Substitute your local IP for localhost should do it.

Answer 2

This happens normally on windows vista - where HOSTS file contains the IP V6 entry for local host which is not resolved.

Edit your HOSTS file;

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

Find following line:

::1             localhost

comment it by adding # at line start

#::1             localhost

and add following:

127.0.0.1 localhost

Restart your machine - now http://localhost will start working

Answer 3

Right click Web Site (Default Web Site in our case) and click on Properties
Click Advanced… button in the Web Site tab
Click on Default and click Edit…
Under IP address: click on the drop down list and select the machine ip

Now, when you try to access the Web site using http://localhost or http://machine_name it will give 404.
You will need to access the web site using http://ip_address and that would work.
