I am unable to connect for example via http, to a brand new installation of 64-bit Windows Server 2008. The server is on a domain, but is not DC (that's another problem altogether). As a specific example, IIS7 is running on the server and the website is accessible locally via http://localhost, but when I try to connect from another machine on the same subnet, the connections is refused, even though Windows Firewall is disabled in all profiles. I am able to connect to and browse the shared folders on the server using Windows Explorer, so it is not a physical connection or user account issue. I can ping other machines on the network from the server, but trying to ping the server from another machine results in "Destination host unreachable". I have determined that the server just refuses any TCP connections from any other machine. I am thinking, there must be some other configuration setting that I am missing... In the Network and Sharing Center, I can see that my connection type is "Internet", which may well be what the problem is, but I have no way of changing that. Please help!

That's a firewall doing it's job... Please disable or open the corresponding ports on the Windows Firewall or on any third party firewall that you have installed.Miguel Fra / Falcon IT Services Computer & Network Support, Miami, FL Visit our Knowledgebase and Support Sharepoint Site

Sorry, but I specifically said "Windows Firewall is disabled in all profiles". There is no other firewall involved on the subnet.

Hello, Then check your router/firewall for packet filter rules that drop packets going to that particular host. Also check that the default gateway is configured correctly on the NIC and that you only have one NIC with a default gateway.
