can you view asp

I installed windows and IIS, however, how do I connect to IIS's IP address from my browser on another device? IIS's / Windows emulator has a different IP address than the one my MacBook has. The windows emulator is doing some sort of NAT for out bound traffic but when i point my iphone browser to either the ip address of the Windows emulator or my MacBook neither get routed to IIS. Note this works fine on my PC laptop. My IIS code is my API for a web app that I now want to write a native iPhone app to use as well. I would like to let IIS run the API inside the windows emulator on my MacBook while I use my iPhone to hit the API over the same wifi network that my MacBook is connected to so I don't have to continue to use my PC laptop.

Thanks for your help in advance,

Rick

You know how to google. Google, "asp files on a mac."

What specifically are you trying to do? Microsoft websites tend to use the ".asp" extension. I have never had trouble visiting websites in Safari that use ".asp" extensions.

If you are trying to setup a Web Server on your Mac, you will want to use Apache. Apache is what Macs and Linux boxes use instead of IIS. You will want to install "OS X Server" from the App Store and use it to setup your webserver. You can also use a free utility like MAMP (www.mamp.info) to run a web server from your non-server Mac.

If this doesn't address your question, please clarify more what you are hoping to specifically accomplish.

Install Windows and run iis instead of trying to mess with Apache to serve asp/aspx pages. If you don't want to install Windows, do some research on adding asp/aspx support to Apache. The issue is not viewing the asp/aspx pages, the issue is serving the pages.

Bob is correct. Apache does not natively handle .asp files. It works with MySQL and PHP by default.
