I’ve set up a page and host it using bindings on ports 80 and 9988 for all incoming IPs. When testing locally on localhost:port it works for both the values but when accessing it remotely, only port 80 gives the desired result. The other one brings out connection time out.

First I thought it had to do with not recognized HTTP request so I added http:// before the IP number but that didn’t make any difference.

I’m guessing that I need to alter web.config but I’m unclear why (and how). The only change from the vanilla state I’ve made was to allow for multiple site bindings (multipleSiteBindingsEnabled), believing that’s enough. It’s not, apparently. 🙂

Eventually, I’ll be hosting the site on several different ports (none of which is the default 80, though).

What need I to do?

    Firewall…

    And since SO requires a minimum number of characters: check the settings of your firewall.

    My experience is that when a connection isn’t working but it should, you need to go “have-you-tried-turning-it-on-and-off-again” but web style: “have-you-checked-your-firewall-settings”.
