I have configured my router so that I can access my localhost from internet. But I can't manage to port forward it to asp.net development server. In router's port forwarding I did the same thing as for the localhost but only changed port number so that it is the same as the one that is assigned to my application, but this doesn't work. Any idea how to get it work?

Thanks in advance,
Ile

The ASP.NET Development Server will not serve pages to remote computers:

In other words, the ASP.NET Development Server will serve pages to browser requests on the local computer. It will not serve pages to another computer.

To make your ASP.NET website available to another computer, you'll need to install and use IIS.

The instructions are different depending on which version of Windows you're using, but the first step is to make sure it's actually installed. On Windows XP, it's found in Add/Remove Programs. On Visa or Windows 7, IIS can be installed from the Programs and Features applet

If you don't want to use IIS, try freeware SPI port forward, http://download.cnet.com/SPI-Port-Forward/3000-2651_4-10764348.html
