Issue in Detail:

I have installed and running both an SQL Server and also an IIS Server in my laptop.



SQL Server is visible and accessible over the network using the Server Credentials method.



When coming to the IIS part. The server is not even visible over the network.



I tried pinging IIS IP in cmd prompt. Timeout. Not connecting.

Your IIS IP must be configured on one of your laptop’s network interfaces.

And as dumb as the “Is it plugged in?”question, is IIS running and bound on port 80 to one of the laptops IP addresses?

You didn’t answer my questions, although that is good information.

What IP address on your laptop are you using for IIS, where is it set, and is it available. You should be able to ping it from the laptop.

Are the IIS services running?

Localhost is opening the default page in my laptop. But whenever I try to ping or connect to the server (IIS) over the network it's not visible. cmd pings timeouts... Pings succeeds on laptop but not from other PC.

Somemore insights:



SQL Server is configured as a 'Database Engine' with mixed mode authentication.

IIS Server is configured with Defaults. Firewall ports are granted for both HTTP and HTTPs.



My officer has granted me permission to bring my personal laptop to office to conduct the office automation development until the ordered machine arrives. I have been given an WiFi account with an username and password configured and dedicated to me. Since I cannot change the firewall rules and has less control in my office Desktop. I decided to proceed installing both SQL server and also IIS in my laptop. Laptop and Desktop (client computer) are both connected to the same network but different modes. My laptop through wifi the rest of the desktops all over the network through LAN.



I am able to connect my SQL server over the network through server credentials that is with username and password. Windows authentication mode fails for SQL Server.





Laptop connects seamlessly as both events are happening inside the same system i.e my laptop. 'Localhost' lands on the default IIS page.



Browser navigation also fails



All the necessary ports have been granted to the Firewall on the server system (Laptop). Clients firewall can't be touched as sonicwall firewall is installed and managed by hardware team.
