What are you typing as the URL from the second computer?

 

i'm trying to access my web server from client computers as http://10.4.11.80 (this ip address is for my web server)

 

First of all does your computer firewall allow port 80 to be opened externally

 

i turned off windows firewall . the problem still exists.

 

Is the server listening to port 80? Have you configured your router to allow port 80?

 

the problem is in the router . port 80 is closed . thanx a lot

 

you need to type the IP of the hosting server, http://ip.here.ipe.here and make sure your firewall if any is allowing port 80 connection, if you want to use teh computers hostname, put the ip and hostname on the host file of teh client computer, that should do it.
