IP address accessable on local machine but not over the internet

Question

I have a windows server 2008 machine that I use for IIS. I usually host all my sites on one IP address, my main IP. However, I needed to host a site with SSL, so I created a new site in IIS manager binded to a previously unused IP address.

However, I just cannot manage to access the site from any other computer. The site works fine if I access it from the browser on the server, but it just won't work if I try to access it from any other computer. I tried pinging the IP address, but it does not respond.

any ideas? thanks

edit: the ipconfig:

I used to host the sites on 176.61.136.104, and now I want to host one on 176.61.136.105, but it seems like I cannot ping 176.61.136.105 (but pinging 176.61.136.104 does work). However, I can ping both on the server.

Answer 1

You can ping and access the site locally on the server but not from another machine and this is a web server which means it is likely sitting behind a firewall.
1) Have you confirmed the firewall rules allow the connection?
2) Have you tried ping/http from another machine on the same subnet?
3) Is there a host-based firewall on the server that needs to be configured to allow access to the new IP?
