http://xx.xxx.xx.xxx/mysite IP error

When i try to access my webpage on my home pc (cable connection) for ASP
testing purposes i get the following error:

"The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be
experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser
settings. "

Can anyone tell me why this is happening? If i type http://localhost/mysite
it will display just fine. :-(

Help me Obi Wan you're my only hope!

Hi

a) Where are you trying to access the page from? Inside your network? Or
from outside?

b) Does the bottom of the error page, what do you see? Do you see a HTTP
status code? Or do you see "can not find server or DNS error"?

Cheers
Ken

Ken, hmm, i'm trying to access the page on the same PC that the site resides.
When i type in the localhost address it displys fine but when i add my IP
address the page just displays this message: "The page cannot be displayed".
No other error messages. I have no idea why it won't show? :-(

Re: http://xx.xxx.xx.xxx/mysite IP error

a) Do you have a proxy server configured in your browser? Perhaps you are
going out to your proxy server, and then proxy server can't reach your
webserver

b) Do you have a firewall installed/enabled on this machine? Perhaps that is
stopping the request (either from the browser, or from the proxy server).

Since http://localhost works, it seems that IIS is working fine. Something
else is preventing the connection.
