To add an IP address to the IP inclusion list

  2. Type cmd, and then click OK to open a command prompt.

  3. Type the following, where xxx.xxx.x.x is the IP address you want to add:
    httpcfg set iplisten -i xxx.xxx.x.x

    When this succeeds, Httpcfg returns the following:
    HttpSetServiceConfiguration completed with 0

    To view additional status codes, see the Httpcfg help.

  4. After the IP address is added, use the following command to list it:

    Httpcfg returns the following:

    IP: xxx.xxx.x.x


  5. From the command prompt, stop the HTTP service and its dependent services. To do this, type the following string at the command prompt:
    net stop http /y

  6. From the command prompt, restart the HTTP service and it dependent services. To do this, type the following string at the command prompt:

    Note When you start w3svc, all services that were stopped when HTTP was stopped will start.
