How to enable IIS to listen all unassigned ips?

Question

_{Wednesday, March 18, 2015 8:06 AM}

Hi all. I have a problem with IIS 7 setup. Since I'm not very good at networking I do not understand the cause of the problem.

So when I add binding such as:

IIS Manager->Bindings...->Add->

Type: http

IP address: All Unassigned

Port: 8080

But when I use netstat -aon command I see that IIS listening 127.0.0.1:8080 instead 0.0.0.0:8080.

So when I run nginx with listening for example on localhost:80 I see 0.0.0.0:80 in netstat output and nginx is available from the outside world but IIS with 127.0.0.1:8080 listening in netstat output is not available.

So I think that the problem in listening 127.0.0.1:8080 instead 0.0.0.0:8080.

I tried to ask for advice on stackoverflow and serverfault but got a only negative rating. I do not know, or because of the stupid question or poor English. I hope very much for your help here.

Thanks to all. Problem is solved.

I use command:

>>netsh http show iplisten

and saw 127.0.0.1 in listening list. (But I didn't add it manually). So I delete it and add 0.0.0.0 instead.

>>netsh http delete iplisten ipaddress=127.0.0.1

>>netsh http add iplisten ipaddress=0.0.0.0

Then I restarted iis server.

I do not understand your problem.

Ignore netstat with 127.0.0.1:8080 versus 0.0.0.0:8080 for now.

And explain to us what your problem is.

Problem is that I have public ip:port that refers to 8080 port on remote server with iis.

When I setup nginx with localhost:8080 listening I have access to it with this public ip:port via some client (curl or browser) on other computer. And with netstat I see 0.0.0.0:8080 listening by nginx.

But when I stop my nginx and trying to setup my iis to all assigned ips with 8080 port then I haven't access to it by public ip:port, only locally via localhost:8080 on remote server. And with netstat -aon I see new 127.0.0.1:8080 listening by iis instead 0.0.0.0:8080 listening.
