How are you trying to access the site? You need to use http://localhost or
http://127.0.0.1 if accessing from the local computer. If accessing from
another computer on your lan you need to use http://localIPAddress. If
accessing from the Internet, you need to use the IP Address of your router
then port forward port 80 (or whatever port IIS is running on) to the local
IP Address where IIS is running.

What error messages are you getting? Maybe you have a firewall blocking
access.
 
Hi BobC,

Thanks for the reply. In IIS set up I have the site in the
C:\inetpub\webroot folder. In the web site properties I have:
Web Site | Description | "site file name" , I am accessing from my home
desktop pc
When I use http://localhost in the IP Address | on the Web Site tab, I get
an error message "Invalid IP address" should I be using my machine address?
If so how should the line read?
In trying every conceivable comination, I have used the machine number in
the drop down. Then gone to IE and typed "http://localhost" in the address
line and gotten - "No website at this location."
I know I am missing something so any help would be greatly appreciated. I am
on cable.

Thanks,
Mike
