Is it possible to have a local (local - meaning same subnet,) computer
access the web development server that ships with Visual Studio 2005?

Even if it means opening a port every time Visual Studio debugs the site, so
that at least the other computer can test the site.......?

Thanks in advance,
JJ

yes you can share the casini to use in a group
also you can specify a special port number to use for all builds ( it
does not change permenantly

How do I share it to enable web access from a remote PC?

The correct answer is: you don't.

The ASP.NET development server only works as localhost,
and you cannot access localhost from any external computer,
even if it's in the same subnet as your computer.

You can install IIS on the computer, of course.

If you can't/won't install IIS, you could install Cassiniv2, which is much better than
the original "Cassini", which was the early basis for the ASP.NET Dev Server:

You also need the v2.0 version of GACUTIL which is installed
with VWD Express, VS 2005 and the .Net Framework 2.0 SDK.

Make sure you read the "ReadMe.txt" file included in the zipped source.

Thanks. I suspected as such. I'll use IIS I think.
