ASP.NET - Connect to website via LAN

Question

I created ASP.NET MVC application and I need to connect to it from another device (that is connected to the same network). How can I do it? I start the application from visual studio and I need to do it just once.

Hosting device: device A

Another device: device B

I started the application in device A and it worked, but I couldn't connect from device B. I turned off firewall, but device B displayed error 400 (The request hostname is invalid). I've tried to fix it by opening IIS config file and changing <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation=":60618:localhost" /> binding information to "*:60618:*" , "*:60618:" , ":60618:" - in all cases, visual studio shuts down right after I click "start" button.

How can I connect to my ASP webapp from device B?

Thanks, Peter

EDIT: Solved

The problem was, I had to use both binding protocols. So the config file should look like this: <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation=":60618:localhost" /> <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation=":60618:*" />

And the second problem was, that I had to start Visual Studio as administrator.

Answer 1

Yes. The asterisk in the binding worked. Here is the full guides:
