I am unable to browse a simple asp.net page from a remote PC through the IP address of that computer. However IIS is responding on a local computer with http://localhost and even when I type the local computer’s IP address where the page is present.
Computer is running XP and IIS 5.1
The message displayed on browser is “The server is taking too long to respond” however the page is just “Hello World” which displays local time.
Make sure your website on IIS is bound to “All Unassigned” and not just to localhost.

Change the “IP Address” field from the above panel to “All Unassigned”.
