hi if i understand your question you want to browse your website on Lan the way is to add the file system web site to vertual directory you can do it like this: open control panel --> adminstrative tools --> IIS when you open it look at left side of the window and right click on web site default in web sites in your local computer tree. on the right menu choose new --> virtual directory that will launch wizard . alias name will be the website name . in the browse window put your project folder . in the permision put what you see necessary and now you can see your website like this http://localhost/'your web site name' or if you are o lan any one can write your ip/'site name' and he will see your web site . it's not necessary to put your file system project in wwwroot folder and this is one of it's benefit gain i hope i understand your question have nice day

Of course it doesn't work.
http://:_portNumber_isn't a valid URL. You didn't tell the browser which host to connect to to request the page. If you specify a port number you must specify the host, either by name or IP.A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^]
