Enabling Intranet Access

Are you ready to release your Intranet Portal to your employees ?

 Let them crash it for you. This is how you would do that.

 Enabling the specified port in Firewall. 

 You should set Inbound and Outbound Rules for your Web Application in the Firewall. 

Setup Inbound Rules

 Step 1 : Open Windows Firewall
Step 2 : Click Advanced Settings
Step 3 : Click Inbound Rules
Step 4 : Click New Rule
Step 5 : Choose Port and Click Next
Step 6 : Enter the Specific Local Port and Click Next
Step 7 : Choose Allow the Connection and Click Next
Step 8 : Choose the Rules to Apply
Step 9 : Enter the Rule Name
Step 10 : Click Finish

 Setup Outbound Rules

 Step 1 : Open Windows Firewall
Step 2 : Click Advanced Settings
Step 3 : Click Outbound Rules
Step 4 : Follow Steps 4 to 10 from Inbound Rules

 Now try accessing the URL from the Intranet. This should work in normal case.

 Troubleshooting

 Try the below workarounds if the above case doesn't solve your issue. 
1. Add hostname in IIS bindings.
2. Edit the host file and Add the Server IP and Web Application URL. 

 Kindly let me know if this helps. Cheers :)
