In this step-by-step guide, you’ll learn add a new ip to your iis server.

**Please note: You must add another ip address to your network card for you to be able to use it. This guide will help you get Internet Information Services work with that ip and not display the error message “The Network Cannot be reached”.

To add an IP address to the IP inclusion list:

loadTOCNode(2, ‘resolution’);1.Click Start , and then click Run.
2.Type cmd, and then click OK to open a command prompt.
3.Type the following, where xxx.xxx.x.x is the IP address you want to add: httpcfg set iplisten -i xxx.xxx.x.x When this succeeds, Httpcfg returns the following: HttpSetServiceConfiguration completed with 0
To view additional status codes, see the Httpcfg help.
4.After the IP address is added, use the following command to list it: httpcfg query iplisten Httpcfg returns the following: IP :xxx.xxx.x.x

Important The IP inclusion list is read during startup of the HTTP service. If you change the list, you must restart the service.

Note The HTTP service and the HTTP SSL service are different services. The HTTP service does not appear in the services list and must be restarted at a command prompt. To do this, follow these steps:1.Click Start , click Run , and then type cmd to open a command prompt. At the command prompt, type net stop http /y and press ENTER. This stops the HTTP Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) service and the World Wide Web publishing services because they are dependent on the HTTP service.
2.To start the HTTP service, type net start w3svc at the command prompt. This starts the HTTP SSL service and the HTTP service.
After you add IP addresses to the IP inclusion list, you must add each IP address that is used by a Web site. If you bind a Web site to an IP address that is not on the list, the Web site does not start.
