Can I access ASP.NET Development server in an intranet?

Im testing an ASP.NEt site. When I execute it, it starts the ASP.NET Development Server and opens up a page.

Now I want to test it in the intranet I have.

1. Can I use this server or I need to configure IIS in this machine?

2. Do I need to configure something for it to work?

I've changed the localhost to the correct IP and I opened up the firewall.

Thanks

Yes you can! And you don't need IIS

Just use a simple Java TCP tunnel. Download this Java app & just tunnel the traffic back. http://jcbserver.uwaterloo.ca/cs436/software/tgui/tcpTunnelGUI.shtml

In command prompt, you'd then run the java app like this... Let's assume you want external access on port 80 and your standard debug environment runs on port 1088...

java -jar tunnel.jar 80 localhost 1088

No, you can't. It's set up so it only works on localhost, and I couldn't find any workarounds to make it work.

But, here's what I've been doing - I created the website on a specific port in IIS and opened that port up so it's visible on the network. I pointed that IIS website to my website's root folder (the one with web.config in it). Then I continued to use the ASP.NET Development server on that local machine while developing - both IIS and the ASP.NET Development Server can access the files at the same time (unless you're doing something wacky).

Let me know if there's a challenge with running IIS on your machine and I'll update my answer.
