I'm working on transferring a Intranet application I wrote for my home network, to a new PC I've got which now has Windows 10 Professional on it. (Upgraded after Windows 10 was released.) I've fixed the IIS problems have assigned the correct application pool to the web app, put it into IIS and it works fine when I run it on my machine. However if I go to another machine in our home network and try to navigate to it, it fails. The error message is:
"The remote computer isn’t responding to connections on port 80, possibly due to firewall or security policy settings, or because it might be temporarily unavailable. Windows couldn’t find any problems with the firewall on your computer.
Contact the service provider or owner of the remote system for further assistance, or try again later Completed "
I using Windows Defender and believe that is where the current issue lies. So I do I enter an exception into Windows Defender to allow HTTP requests on port 80 to come through, so long as it's on my home network?

HI Rod
Option 1
Have you tried checking the firewall settings on the source computer
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Firewall select Advanced Settings-> Outbound rules->Add new rule->custom rule-> add your target computer and port to the allow rule
Option 2 Have you tried to uncheck or disable the proxy settings on the source computer
Settings->Internet Options->connections->LAN Settings->ensure everything is unchecked

No this is not a function of Windows Defender. You want to look at the
settings for the Windows Firewall.

I'm sorry Paul, that is my mistake.

HI Joseph,
If I could ask a clarifying question, please. I've gotten to the Outbound rule as you said, but then I realized I'm not exactly sure which computer you're talking about. I'm guessing you're saying that the source computer is the PC hosting the website in IIS. Am I correct?

Hi Rod
In this case the computer you are using to access the website is your source, where you need to check firewall. The target is the host device that you are trying to connect to.
