title: Access IIS Express on a VMWare Win7
body: <p>I'm running a ASP.NET MCV 4 project in VS2012 on a windows 7 virtual machine using VMWare. I want to be able to access the site from my mac.</p>
  
  <p>I've done all the steps stated in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5442551/iisexpress-returns-a-503-error-from-remote-machines">this</a> question. Restarted IIS, turned off windows firewall, changed the application config file and granted remote access to the ACL and I still get a 503 error in my mac.</p>
  
  <p>Any steps I could have missed?</p>
  
  <p>application config file is the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        &lt;site name="prototype" id="2"&gt;
              &lt;application path="/" applicationPool="Clr4IntegratedAppPool"&gt;
                  &lt;virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="C:\Users\Igor Popov\Desktop\myapp\prototype" /&gt;
              &lt;/application&gt;
              &lt;bindings&gt;
                  &lt;binding protocol="http" bindingInformation=":50438:192.168.0.9" /&gt;
              &lt;/bindings&gt;
          &lt;/site&gt;
  </code></pre>
