title: Accessing IIS hosted site on other computers via lan
body: <p>I've got a website hosted on my IIS and I would like to access it from other devices connected to same lan. Whilst I can access my local host (default website in IIS) by doing so: </p>
  
  <pre><code>http://10.0.1.6/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where, that's my internal ip. This always works, even from iPad and iPod.</p>
  
  <p>This has worked fine for all cases until now. Now, I have a website that's hosted in IIS with a binding, <code>mysite.local</code> - and I have my host file edited so requests to it would go to IIS.</p>
  
  <p>The trouble is I don't know how to access it on my other devices anymore.</p>
  
  <p>doing <code>http://10.0.1.6/mysite.local</code> gives me an error, understandably.
  This website works intimately with subdomains so I will have to access it by something like <code>one.mysite.local</code> or <code>two.mysite.local</code> and so on.</p>
  
  <p>so how do I access this site with other devices? any ideas please?</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
  
  <p>I don't know what else I need to provide to come up with an answer, if you need anything, let me know.</p>
