Here is the situation: I made an MVC4 app with MongoDb. It is a mini social network with minimal functionality - you can follow people, post messages and see messages of people that you follow. I want to show it to my friends, so that they can use it an fill some data in the database on my computer. I have a dynamic IP router so i did this: when i run the app(with F5 for debugging, but it still works), it hosts on localhost:56722 i made registration in noip.com, downloaded their software. Every 5 minutes the software updates to the host if my router IP has changed. In the noip website, i made a host: *****.myvnc.com Host type: Port 80 redirect IP adress - my router's ip Port: 56722

so whenever you type ****.myvnc.com , where *** stand for my nickname, it does redirect to my ip: port 56722

i go to my router options and make port forwarding for Service port: 56722 Internet port: 56722 (tried each of them swapping with 80, didn't work)

for all protocols. Now, whenever i try to go to *****.myvnc.com it shows the logo of M$ IIS8 and when you click it, redirects to iis website. (when i stop running the MVC and try access the host, it doesn't show it). Any idea how i can make it show my MVC application? I am really new to this stuff, this is my 1st MVC project and I've never made a website host. This is the second day I'm trying to find the solution, so i apologize if my request sounds silly :)

  • Go to project settings > change the port to 80,If you have skype in your PC change the setting so skype doesn't take port 80. If you use Netgear then a feature available to you is port forwarding (all model not supported it). You need to call netgear support or a guys which help you to use your router for forwarding. After this you can run your apps in all devices which have connected to same router :) – Anirudha Gupta Dec 26 '13 at 16:06

You shouldn't run the website in the development server, it not designed for that, and not accessible from the outside. You need to configure your website in IIS, see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323972 The easiest solution is to create a website with the physical path pointed to your development directory.

You need to deploy your application to IIS and make sure it default.Also check it is in the root folder on not or not.
