Question : I am trying to browse my intranet using: \\lynda-laptop\{somesite registered in local IIS}\

I can ping my machine (lynda-laptop) using the IP address 192.168.1.105 from another machine without problems and I can ping other machines on my network without difficulty.

But when I try to browse I get 'Connection Reset' either with http:\\lynda-laptop\falkonpowersports.com\ OR http:\\192.168.1.105\falkonpowersports.com OR just http:\\192.168.1.105\

I have 4 machines I am trying to tie into an intranet, 2 vista 64s and 2 xp pro 32 bit. And I am really at a loss here.

Make sure windows firewall isn't blocking it.

Look under properties of your network connection -> advanced tab -> windows firewall.

Either turn of the firewall.. (Not the best recomendation)  or create an exception for the webserver (Add Port).
