• 1. turn on WLAN on your PC


• 2. place your ASP.NET application on your IIS 7.0
  For example I deployed simple WebTest ASP.NET application to my IIS 7.0. Try click "Browse *:80 (http)" from IIS to be sure your application properly running


















• 3. find your computer IPv4 Address

  - type ipconfig
  - remember IPv4Address (in format 192.x.x.x)


• 4. try to open your ASP.NET application from your PC
  - instead of localhost type IPv4Address, in my case it is "http://192.x.x.x/WebTest/"

• 5. connect your iPhone to your WLAN

• 7. if "http://192.x.x.x" open IIS page on your iphone but "http://192.x.x.x/WebTest/" (of course WebTest is in only in my example) does not open web application try open Control Panel --> Window Firewall --> Allow a Program through Windows Firewall
  - in "Allowed programs" click "Change setting" button and check "World Wide Web Services (HTTP)" and "Home/Work (Private)"
