I have an ASP.NET 2.0 Application (ReadyDesk) setup as an Application in IIS.

The bindings are pointing to: readydeskdev.domain.com
The location of the Application is: C:/inetpub/wwwwroot/ReadyDesk

On the server, I can successfully go to: readydeskdev.domain.com/ReadyDesk/HD/
However, on another computer, not on the server, I cannot hit that Application (URL).
I get a “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage” error.

The strange thing is I can get to an HTML file or CSS file:
readydeskdev.domain.com/ReadyDesk/HD/test.htm

But not any ASPX file, JS file, or image:
readydeskdev.domain.com/ReadyDesk/HD/Default.aspx

One more thing…
If I view the URL in Firefox externally, it works just fine. This seems to be an issue with Internet Explorer. I have never come across this. Can anyone please help me as I am stumped!

Edit: I am using IIS7

    Wow, that’s an unusual one.

    Double check that IE hasn’t cached the error page (F5 to reload without the cache, I think)

    You can also hit F12 for the IE developer tools which might shed some light on what kind of error you are getting (a 404, a 500 etc).

    Amend the web.config to show errors (the debug=true and RemoteErrors=On (I think)

    and maybe hit the endpoint with Fiddler. What does Fiddler say?

    Request the endpoint [readydeskdev.domain.com/ReadyDesk/HD/Default.aspx] from another site (like the WC3 Validator) – to get an ‘external’ view of what is going on (and to check the site validates!)

    Hope this helps,
    Neil
